Send dtmf from IVR

Hello,

I have the same situation and am wondering if there was a solution.

Thank you,

Drew

Continuing the discussion from Send dtmf from IVR:

@ltloopy

I have a phone system at the front door of office my building and run by my landlord, and phone at the door calls one of my office phones and to let someone I press 9. What I am looking to set up an IVR that has a hidden code where it will return a 9 DTMF tone to the person it they type in the correct code.

Does anyone know how to set up a custom destination or something similar to have the Asterisk server send a 9. I was able to find the sendDTMF command (Asterisk cmd SendDTMF - VoIP-Info) but I am not sure how to set that up.

Provided you are calling from an extension that has dtmf signalling set to inband this can be done.

• In the file /ext/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf add these lines at the bottom:

[custom-playdigits]
exten => s, 1, noop(entering user defined context [custom-playdigits] in extensions_custom.conf)
exten => s,n,answer()
exten => s,n,senddtmf(1234) ; substitute digits for whatever code you want to play.
; exten => s,n,senddtmf(1w2w3w4) ;uncomment to play digits with pauses between
exten => s,n,hangup

• In Admin, Custom Destination, create a new custom destination that points to “custom-playdigits,s,1” (without quotes)
• In your IVR, point one of the options to the destination created in #2.
