[Asterisk-Users] call forwarding, most basic case

[Ferdy Riphagen]

Yair,


One option is like this:

1) User dials ext. 154 to activate call forward (to voicemail)
2) User dials ext. 155 to de-activate call forward
3) Macro to check incoming calls for database entry's
4) The local extention must use that macro (or other way of screening)

1)
exten => 154,1,Answer
exten => 154,2,Set(DB(CFIM/${CALLERIDNUM})=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 154,3,Hangup

2)
exten => 155,1,Answer
exten => 155,2,DBdel(CFIM/${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 155,3,Hangup

3)
[macro-test]
exten => s,1,Set(CFIM=${DB(CFIM/${ARG1})})
exten => s,2,GotoIf(${CFIM} = "CFIM/${ARG1}"?1|1)
exten => s,3,Dial(${ARG2}|${ARG3}|${ARG5})

exten => 1,1,VoiceMail(u${CFIM})

4)
exten => 202,1,Macro(test|${EXTEN}|SIP/202|15||tr)
