[Asterisk-Users] Polycom Intercom - almost there

[Bill Gibbs]

Ok so I added to my Freepbx config running Asterisk 1.2.4 in
extensions_custom.conf

 

; intercom

exten => _7XXX,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Auto Answer)

exten => _7XXX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1},12,Tt)

 

and configured my Polycoms via this page
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Polycom+auto-answer+config for auto
answer and that works fine if I dial 7 then the 3 digit extension.

 

No problems, the receiving end answers automatically and everything
works great.

 

However, since we are migrating from a key system I would like to have
one of the hard buttons, say the 3rd line key in a 501 for example to
automatically initiate the "7" so the user only has to enter in the
extension and it automatically does the intercom style feature, thus
saving a key press.

 

I can easily set the 3rd line key to generate dial tone:

 

In sip.conf

 

   <keys key.scrolling.timeout="1"
key.IP_500.33.function.prim="Handsfree"/>

 

That makes a dialtone and I can dial as normal however I would like to
put the 7 in there automatically so they just have to dial.  The
subPoint.prim function is an integer that references an array value so
that won't work.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?  Just trying to keep the number of button
presses to a minimum.
