Hi all,

I have looked through the wiki for any information on how to make an
extension autodial another extension when it goes off hook.

Anyone done this or know how it's done.

regards

Dave

Thanks John,

I think it is not that simple. I am not using a phone but a Cisco ATA.

The scenario: -

User--(Multitech VOIP MVP200 (FXS))--Internet--(Multitect VOIP MVP100
(FXO))--Cisco ATA--Asterisk--Any extension

The Multitech MVP100 used to connect to my old analogue switch which was set
to auto call one extension.

The old switch died, (rest it's soul), and I have built the * to replace,
(nay superseded) it. Lot more functions
for less of the greenbacks.

So it is really the Cisco ATA that I need to auto call an extension.

Just to cap it all I can't seem to get into the web interface of the Cisco
at present, Keep getting Invalid Access.

regards

Dave

Depends on the phone. If you have an FXS interface, look for
"immediate=" in your zapata.conf file.

If you have an IP phone, search the vendor's documentation for PLAR
(Private Line Auto Ringdown)

Any reason you can't use the H.323 load for the MVP200? I've not tried it
in a year or so, but it mostly worked last time I tried it.

Yes, it is that simple, but of course there is a precursor
requirement that you need to 1) be able to configure your ATA, and
2) know how to configure your ATA.

Google is your friend. Please use Google before you reply back with
additional questions; it saves us all time and email bandwidth.

I'm somewhat confused as to why you would ever put those multitechs
in there when you could go directly from the ATA to Asterisk, but I'm
assuming you have some good reason.

I would have to change several other units over from proprietary to h323
that are already in the loop.

I added mine to the loop so they could call for support.

I have started to play with h323 on the * but not got my head round it yet.

Thanks John,

Found it.

The Multitech's are part of a legacy system used by a new customer of mine.
I just latched onto it for ease of communications, it's been in for some
years now.

Dave
