[asterisk-users] Pickup Command not working

[Lutgring, Sam]

Thanks for the suggestion.  Everything was there except for the context
in the Pickup()cmd and that did not fix it.  

Watching the cli in debug you can see it dial the **212 and fall
straight through the first step "exten => _**XXX,1,Pickup(${EXTEN:2})"
and move to the second step "exten => _**XXX,n,Hangup()" which just
hangs up the call.

I am not sure, but in the context where your extensions are, have you
done:

include => BLF_Group_Pickup

This bit should have some "context=" i,e, where your clients are
dialling, do they have access to the [BLF_Group_Pickup] bits of the dial
plan?

(I think it can also be set as a default in the [general] part of
sip.conf  i,e, context=default if not defined in the SIP peer config,
but for  security reasons, your internal clients should ideally be in a
separate  context, so you can differentiate between internal and
external connections  and limit what they can dial.) Mine is called
"from-client" and then in  each [client] section in sip.conf, I have
"context=from-client"

You might also have to set the Pickup() command to pickup from the
correct context, i.e. Pickup(${EXTEN:2}@from-client) if it still doesn't
work.
