[Asterisk-Users] Directed Call Pickup

[steve]

I think that this line of context  *"exten => _8.,1,Pickup(${EXTEN:1})"* might be the issue.  Starting with an underscore before the 8 states that you want to perform pattern matching and the period after the 8 means wildcard. I think if you remove those two special characters your issue will be solved.

    Call parking
    ------------
    Parking extension   :   700
    Parking context     :   parkedcalls
    Parked call extensions: 701-720



in extension.conf I have:
    exten => _8.,1,Pickup(${EXTEN:1})



When I dial 812, in the CLI I can see:
    Executing Pickup("SIP/29-707f", "12") in new stack


Any thoughts?

Kind Regards
