[Asterisk-Users] Parking extension not working

[Sean Garland]

Okay here is an update...  With my extensions.conf and parking.conf,
etc.. Files, I was able to place a call with the usb phone (analog on
zap/3) and park it by pressing flash, then typing in 701...  From the
SIP phones I am still unable to transfer to 701.  What does that mean?
Is that something to do with the T instead of t?

Thanks for you patience and help through this...
Sean

ok, let's try again....
In extensions.conf, do you have either a "t" or "T" as an option on your
dial string like this:

exten => s,203,Dial(${ARG2},20,rtT)     ; Ring the interface, 20 seconds
maximum

If not, transfer isn't going to work and therefor park wont work either.
