[Asterisk-Users] Help with ON-Hold, and call-transfer.

[asterisk at taylorz.org.uk]

Hi,

OK firstly some background before I ask my questions... Sorry that is a
little extensive, but it saves the standard "What is your setup
response" :)

I am using the cvs checkout for CVS-07/30/03-11:43:15 (cvs co -D "a
fortnight ago") - I tried the one this morning CVS-07/29/03-13:13:06,
but it seems to have some isses with SIP.

I am running asterisk under a RedHat9 2.40.20-19smp kernel on a dual
P600 Celeron machine with 320MB memory and a E100P Card.

We use a couple of Cisco 7940 IP Phones with the SIP firmware upgrade.

We can dial...
- from the 7940 to the outside world.
- from one 7940 to another 7940.
- into asterisk to be picked up by the 7940.
- into asterisk to be forwarded to multiple 7940 (call grouping).
- into asterisk to be forwarded to a mailbox (either due to a DND or
ring-timeout)
- between two 7940s and put a call on hold between them - playing the on
hold music

The problem is if a call between an outside connection and a 7940
through asterisk and then you put the call on hold - the call is
disconnected - any ideas why?

Best Regards,
