Hi all,

I'm not sure if this helps but I had a bit of a bash at fixing some
issues with the new Page() function.

The problem was the phone that initiates the Page was getting called
itself and I think because the Snom360 had a bit of a race condition it
wasn't returning "486 Busy Here" as it should of and thus causing a
feedback loop that killed the phone and required a reboot to fix.

My solution was the following (advice is more than welcome as this is
the first EVER bash script I have written and maybe GROUP function would
have been an option):

Dialplan:

[macro-page]
exten => s,1,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info:
<sip:192.168.10.16>\;answer-after=0)

;;;Strip out calling channel
exten => s,n,Cut(caller=CHANNEL,-,1)
;exten => s,n,Cut(caller=caller,/,2)

exten => s,n,AGI(strremove|${ARG1}|${caller})
exten => s,n,NoOp(dialstring: ${dialstring})

;exten => s,n,Cut(dialstr=ARG1,caller,1)
;exten => s,n,NoOp(dialstr: ${dialstr})

exten => s,n,Page(${dialstring})



/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/strremove:

#!/bin/sh

dialarg=` echo $1 | sed -e 's/"//g'`
channelarg=` echo $2 | sed -e 's/"//g'`

echo arg: $1
echo arg: $unqarg

OUT="test1 $string test2"
OUT ="${dialarg//$channelarg/}"
echo SET VARIABLE dialstring $OUT

(I have tidied up the script a little to remove old debug but it should
still work fine.)


Notes:

- The AGI script finds and removes a string from the target string.
- The macro takes ARG1 as input which is the list of devices you wish to
use as intercom phones:

exten => 200,1,Macro(page,SIP/snom1&SIP/snom2&SIP/snom3) ;Pager /
Intercom


I still have issues with intercom breaking the odd snom that is
currently on the phone so I dare say that Jeremy's script will fix that.

However it would seem to me that the page function should be doing this
itself.


I hope this is of use to someone.

Alex
