[Asterisk-Users] x100p / Answer-> Flash -> Dial

[Andy Farnsworth]

Dan,
  This will probably not work.  Once Asterisk tells the Panasonic PBX to
transfer the call, the call will no longer go through the extension the
Asterisk PBX is attached to.  It seems the only solution to this (doing
it the way you are) is to have two zaptel cards in the Asterisk PBX,
attache them to two extensions of the Panasonic PBX and the calls come
in one extension and then are sent out the other KEEPING BOTH BUSY as
long as the call is in progress.  As Sam said, you will really need to
have an intelligent connection to the Panasonic PBX to do this on much
more than a single call at a time basis.
 
Disclaimer: I am an Asterisk Newbie, though I have been following it for
several years, my hands on experience is about a week old.

Even if you could get that to work properly, which I dont know... the
callprogress detection is horrible; if you want to do that reliably you
need a T1,ISDN or IP interface to the switch (something that actually
provides proper call progress)

I have an X100P connected to an extension of a Panasonic PBX. When a
call from the PSTN comes in, it is routed directly to the extension
where the x100p is . I want * to answer the call, play a message and
then transfer the call to another extension via the Zap channel where
the call was received (I need to flash the zap channel) . If this
extension doesn't answer I want then to dial an IAX channel.
The problem is that when I do a Flash on the zap channel, and then try
to dial a new extension via that zap channel I get the following error
"can't create zap channel".  
 
If I do a SendDTMF(XXXX) the call does get transfer  to the new
extension but then * gets out of the call loop and don't know it is
answered or not by the new extension.
 
Am I missing something? Why am I getting the "can't creat za channel"
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Dan
