    TIPS Can I dial directly into Conf Bridge instead of phone in?

    Hi If I understand you correctly, you've pointed your DID to the internal conference number, so if you dial it directly or if you dial via your DID, then you will end up at the same place. Joe

    TIPS Router and ports !

    Hi If you are registering with a username and password to your carrier, then you won't need to open any ports or do any port forwarding - at least on a modern router - as your NAT device deals with opening the ports. You might get busy signals immediately after rebooting until your PBX...

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT allow incoming calls to ring indefinitely if no extension is available

    Hi The history of 999 in the UK was to avoid accidental misdials caused by the two wires of the telephone circuit touching each other and dialling say 111 accidentally, (e.g. wires from poles on a windy day) which would have been the more logical number to choose for an emergency number - with...

    TIPS Power Button Clean Shutdown?

    Hi My understanding is that if you press the power button briefly, then this will initiate a clean shutdown. Wait until all the lights go off and it stops making a noise, and press the power button again, and it will start up. I don't believe that any programming is necessary. Joe

    SOLVED Limiting inbound call length to 3 mins only.

    Hi You were right, there are further dial commands, try exten => s,1,noop(Limiting maximum call duration to 5 seconds) exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/101,120,S(5)) So we call the SIP endpoint directly, by passing the from-internal context. Joe

    SOLVED Limiting inbound call length to 3 mins only.

    Hi I see you just pasted them in to the PM. I find them really difficult to read like that, as the lines are wrapped, there is no colour, it's best if you either pastebin or attach them. What did you work out from reading the logs, any conclusions? Joe

    SOLVED Limiting inbound call length to 3 mins only.

    Hi I guess you were just using a catchall pattern for the DID in inbound routes. If you properly enter your DID in inbound routes, you will have to return that dialplan to _X., as the extension won't match the s extension, but the logs will tell you that. The logs will tell you whether there...

    SOLVED Limiting inbound call length to 3 mins only.

    Hi I should have read the title a bit more carefully. Same principle, assuming calls always go to the same destination. Create a context called [limit-calls-3mins] in /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf with a dial command as previously stated, and using the local channel, dial the...
