[asterisk-users] two steps when calling from web!

[Danny Nicholas]

Originate is the answer here.  Let’s say your X-lite is SIP/100 and you’re dialing 555-1212.  From the x-lite you dial 555-1212 and Asterisk does a dial command to execute the call.  From the web, we “originate” the call from SIP/100 to 555-1212.  Asterisk makes sure SIP/100 is available then dials the call.

sendcommand( Action => 'Originate',

                                           Channel => "SIP/100",

                                           Exten => 5551212,

                                           Context => 'default',

                                           priority => 1,

                                           Number => 5551212

                                           );

I use this in my office with Apache 1.X and 2.X.

-1 in normal way, when I type the number in softphone, it call the number and show me just "End" bottom.

2- when I calling the number through the web, it show me "Answer" bottom and I have to click answer to calling then number. it is 2 steps to calling from web.

 

 

For Asterisk, there is no way to bring a device in on a call unless Asterisk dials out to it first. That device needs to accept the Asterisk-originated call as if a normal call were incoming.

 

When I was referring to headers, I was talking about SIP headers that allow many hardware SIP phones to go into what is effectively an intercom mode, not requiring an explicit answer function. I don't know (off of the top of my head) how to set SIP headers from the AMI originate action, but I suppose there probably is some way to do it. Then question then becomes whether or not your softphone supports it.

 

Otherwise, there may be an option to configure your softphone to simply automatically answer all incoming calls.
