<div dir="ltr">OK, it's been a while since I drank from the pool of wisdom hear on the list.<div><br></div><div>After cracking my head against the wall for a few days trying to figure this out, I have decided to swallow my pride and take the drink.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div style>So, on to my question:</div><div style><br></div><div style>I have some agents/operators setup in sip.conf which point to a context where I have just about disabled outbound calls (only specific numbers can be dialed).</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>The purpose of this is to allow the inbound calls to come in, then if the operator has a need, they transfer the call to a pre-defined extension which lives in the limited context defined in sip.conf.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>This has worked for some time to restrict outbound calling and where calls can be transferred to.</div><div style><br></div><div style>Now I would like to open up the numbers the inbound calls can be transferred to. So, easy enough I thought and I went on my merry way adding the regular patterns to the context such as NXXNXXXXXX and so on.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Hooray, now the operators can transfer anywhere.</div><div style><br></div><div style>New Problem, now operators can pick up the previous inbound only line and dial out to anything that matches the patterns I have defined in the context for their extension in sip.conf.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>What I really need to make work here is Attended-Transfer since that is what is desired by those using the system.</div><div style><br></div><div style>It seems that any variables I try to set on the way in don't carry through too well during an attended transfer.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Basically, I need the ability to know for sure at the point the call ends up in the outbound context (defined in sip.conf) if the call is actually a transfer from an inbound call or if it's a direct dial outbound call with no incoming call attached. If I can figure out how to know this for sure, I can just do a GoToIf type of thing in the outbound context that just kills the call if there is no proof that it's a transfer.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I hope this makes sense, please let me know if more info is needed.</div><div style><br></div><div style>Running Asterisk 1.8.8.0.</div><div style><br></div><div style>A huge thanks in advance to the list for any help with this, it's driving me batty.</div>
