[asterisk-users] Read Timeout

[Danny Nicholas]

Not necessarily the best way, but here's how I handle this type of thing in
1.4.X

macro-screen]

exten => s,1,Wait(0.2)

exten => s,n,Read(ACCEPT|priv-instruct-custom|1)

exten => s,n,GotoIf($[LEN(${ACCEPT})  <  1 ] ?no)

exten => s,n,GotoIf($[${ACCEPT} = 1 ] ?yes:no)

exten => s,n(no),Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)

exten => s,n(yes),Wait(0.1)

Hello,

 

I use the following macro to screen calls when they come in. 

 

Priv-instruct-custom says "press 1 to accept, press 2 to reject"

 

However, when no input is made (or the call goes to my mobile's voicemail
and therefore no input is made), the result is that the ACCEPT variable is
not set and then the GotoIf statement fails.

 

How can I resolve this? Can I simply preset the ACCEPT variable to 2, or
will the read cmd override the ACCEPT variable with nothing if it times out?

 

[macro-screen]

exten => s,1,Wait(0.2)

exten => s,n,Read(ACCEPT|priv-instruct-custom|1)

exten => s,n,GotoIf($[${ACCEPT} = 1 ] ?yes:no)

exten => s,n(no),Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)

exten => s,n(yes),Wait(0.1)

 

Many thanks

Dan
