[asterisk-users] Asterisk 13 queue and DND phones

Wed May 17 08:14:26 CDT 2017

This makes sense, thank you, although this is applicable to Polycom phones 
only (I was hoping for a more universal solution, as current phones are not 
an indicator of phones we may get in the future)

Hi. I will try to give you an idea:

You can remap de 'Do not disturb' key to do some actions.

(Best examples I've found so far: 
http://community.polycom.com/t5/VoIP/FAQ-Using-Enhanced-Feature-Keys-EFK-macros-to-change-key/td-p/5705)

I once tried to remap de DND on a Polycom IP 550 to something like:

key.SPIP550.9.function.prim="^PauseExten$Tinvite$FDoNotDisturb$"

That would place a call to extension "PauseExten" and also sets the phone on 
DND.

The extension 'PauseExten' has the dialplan logic to Pause/Unpause the 
phone. And this executes everytime you press de DND key.

This "works" but it is not the best solution.

Hope it helps. Sorry for my bad english.

Hi,

I’ve noticed that when I set a phone on DND (phone-side DND, meaning it 
rejects calls with a busy status, SIP 486 response code I believe) the queue 
keeps on trying the phone over and over again.

This creates issues in terms of CDR entries – in a scenario where there is 
only one phone on DND, and a delay between attempts of 1 second, the queue 
will attempt to ring the single phone every second, creating one CDR entry 
per second.  It also creates one event per second in the queue_log file.

Is there any strategy to avoid this? I’m trying to avoid autopause=yes 
(because them the employee needs to take action when turned DND off -  I 
want the simple act of turning DND off to mean the phone starts ringing 
again).

-          Can I have an autoUNpause after x seconds?

-          Can the queue detect that the phone is returning response code 
486, and not ring it for either x second or until the next call?

-          Can the CDR engine/queue_log engine be told to not log more than 
one RINGNOANSWER status? Having one helps, as it tells us the agent was on 
DND at the time, but having hundreds does not help anyone.

Specifically this is with Polycom phones, but I don’t think it makes a 
difference.

Thank you for taking the time to help me,

Mike
