[Asterisk-Users] Rolling dialplan... best practice?

[Ryan Booz]

I have an Asterisk system for a small office with 12 extensions.  For parts
of the incoming dialplan that go to "support"/"sales" we have phones ring
various people in an "additive" fashion.  Example:

 

----- snip ------

exten => s,2,Dial(${E25}|18)

exten => s,3,Dial(${E25}&${E24}|12)

exten => s,4,Dial(${E25}&${E24}&${E28}|12)

exten => s,5,Dial(${E25}&${E24}&${E28}&${E22}|12)

----- snip ------

 

This works, but I've just realized that it has the unfortunate side effect
of making each extension appearing to get one call for each "Dial" command.
So, ${E25} appears to get four calls if nobody answers it and it goes to
voicemail.  ${E24} three calls, etc.

 

Is there a better way to do this kind of extension plan?

 

Thanks for any suggestions!
