Hi Lito,<br><br>It depends on how you asked your telco provider to configure your 3 direct lines. We called it "trunking" the 3 lines with pilot number. Telco can figure it the way we configure our Asterisk Followme. (seized all, random, sequencial).<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Angel<br><br><b><i>Lito Lampitoc <ralampitoc@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> thanks for enlightening. So you mean, if I have 3 lines when the caller dialled the first line and it was busy, the call will be diverted to the next two available lines in random? <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/27/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">David Cook</b> <<a href="mailto:dbc_asterisk@advan.ca">dbc_asterisk@advan.ca</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > is it possible to define a

Here in Bell<br>Canada country they call it "Ringer Equivalence". Call your local<br>carrier and they should be able to tell you what they call it in their <br>marketing world. You tell the telco which lines you want the calls to<br>"roll" to then all three will terminate calls to the pilot number.<br><br>Now it doesn't work exactly as you had described - it doesn't move the <br>call so as to free up the first port. It merely
says the first port is<br>busy and terminates the next call on the next port in sequence. This<br>means you can't count on which line is "available" at any time. For <br>outbound, you need to put the three lines in an Asterisk group and test<br>the group for availability to select an available line to dial out on.<br><br>dbc.<br>--<br>David Cook<br>_______________________________________________ <br>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by <a href="http://Easynews.com">Easynews.com</a> --<br><br>asterisk-users mailing list<br>To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit:<br> <a href="http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users"> http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users</a><br></blockquote></div><br> _______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com --<br><br>asterisk-users mailing list<br>To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit:<br>
