[asterisk-users] Only secretary can call the boss, all others only reach the secretary when dial the boss extension

[Ricardo Carvalho]

With Ioan suggestion it still doesn't work, because Asterisk still 
thinks that the INVITE sent as consequence of the REFER message isn't 
correlated with a transferred call coming from the secretary.

I've also tried to do it using different contexts, but it still doesn't 
work. I've done like this:
[default]
exten => secretary_extension,1,Dial(SIP/secretary_extension)
exten => boss_extension,1,Dial(SIP/secretary_extension)
[secretary]
include => default
exten => boss_extension,1,Dial(SIP/boss_extension)

The problem seems to be that in either case, Asterisk doesn't keep the 
state of the call, to know that if transferred from the secretary, the 
server should let it pass to the boss and not redirecting it back to the 
secretary.
May this be solved with Transfer([Tech/]dest[|options])? And is it the 
only way to do it? Can't it be done with normal "transfer" key that the 
phones I've deployed have?


Any other ideas?!
Thanks,
Ricardo.
