[asterisk-users] How to send variables through AMI originate and read those variables in context?

[Bruce Nik]

Hello Everyone,

I want to send a few numbers (variables) when doing Asterisk AMI Originate
command and then have Festival read them back to customer in the context.
How should this be done? Following is my not working example and also
reference on AMI Originate Command:

Command: Originate
Channel: SIP/123
Context: TestFestival
Priority: 1
Exten: 555
Variable: $numberONE, $numberTWO, $numberTHREE

/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf:
[TestFestival]
exten => 555,1,Answer()
exten => 555,n,Festival(you entered: $numberONE $numberTWO $numberTHREE)
exten => 555,n,Hangup()

I very much appreacitate any input on this.
