off hook auto dial

[adelthefarmer]

Hi,

I need to setup a phone in the lobby for customers to call me when I am out of the office. I would like for the phone to auto dial my cell phone when off hook.
How can I do it with an analog phone connected to fxo port and also what are the steps for a sip phone. I am using PIAF. Thank you so much.

Hi

This is usually functionality on the phone, rather than the PBX.

For the analog phone, if you set immediate=yes, it will dial straight away. You will need to create a bit of special dial-plan to make it work.

With the sip phone, it should be a widget in the phone somewhere.

This is what I did for a POT extension.
On the extension set immediate=yes
Put it in a context like the following in extensions-custom.conf

[batphone-custom]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,2,Goto(ext-group,606,1)
exten => s,n,Hangup()

In the Ring Group you can select the destinations you want.
In my ring group I play an announcement first so callers know whats going on.

Thank you all.
I would like to use the analog POT. The extension for this phone is 23.
I have configured a speed dial 11, so extension 23 will dial 11. I set immediate=yes in 23 and added the following to extensions-custom.conf (all the way in the bottom of the file)

[batphone-custom]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,2,Goto(ext,11,1)
exten => s,n,Hangup()

When I pick up the pot line, ext 23, I get fast busy. I am confuse on how to tigh this exten to the above script. I (know this due to my lack of understanding of how things work in PIAF) Thanks for your help.

You don't need to make a speed dial.
On the extensions page, you need to change the context from the default from-internal setting to the one you created, ie batphone-custom.

I saw a post about this just a couple of weeks ago… now where was it?

If you want it to go to extension 11 you could also to this.

[batphone-custom]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,2,Goto(from-internal,11,1)
exten => s,n,Hangup()

Make sure that the context of your batphone is batphone-custom in freepbx.
