[Asterisk-Users] call parking timeout

[Brian May]

Hello,

If a parked call times out, it will ring the original extension again.

If this fails for any reason (e.g. the extension is busy), then the
caller receives silence until the timeout time, and then gets the busy
signal and is disconnected.

I consider disconnecting callers like this very unprofessional, and
could happen for instance if you receive a new call when you just parked
the previous call (especially if you have caller-waiting disabled).

Is there any solution to this?

Ideally I would like it to park the call again, either if no answer
within X seconds or if the extension is busy.

An alternative would be to forward the call to another extension and/or
voice mail.

Thanks in advance.
