[asterisk-users] Question on queue terms

[Mike]

Thanks, that`s pretty close to what I want.  I got confused between members
and agents.

I have enough to go on with this!


Regards,

Mike

I have 4 phones in an operator queue, it's setup so, if the operator is 
busy enough that she can't grab the call (On inbound), it drops the 
caller into the queue and start ringing the backup operators. 

It puts an * in front of the number, to let the backup(s) know it's an 
operator call and they can answer accordingly.

If nobody answers, then the callee is shown to the directory:

cat queues.conf

member => SIP/4100
member => SIP/4138
member => SIP/4140
member => SIP/4159

Then I have an extension that does the following:

;*********************************
;* Place caller into the front-desk
;* queue and play hold music
;* for 120 seconds.  If nobody picks
;* up call within that time, send
;* caller to the Directory
;*********************************

exten => s,7,Set(CALLERID(num)=*${CALLERID(num)})
exten => s,8,Queue(front-desk|t|||120)
exten => s,9,Playback(local/transfer-dial)
exten => s,10,Goto(directory,s,1)
exten => s,11,Hangup()
