Call record with touch screen phone (snom 870)

FreePBX
1

hey there,

just tried to make a call record with my snom 870, but this won’t work because the touch button is configured as SIP command “record” but asterisk wants to get a DTMF *1 signal…
I googled and found the following solution:
http://www.fosslc.org/drupal/node/643

BUT,
how do I edit the features.conf file when using freepbx? in the features.conf file found at /etc/asterisk/ tells me:
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------;
; Do NOT edit this file as it is auto-generated by FreePBX. All modifications to ;
; this file must be done via the web gui. There are alternative files to make ;
; custom modifications, details at: http://freepbx.org/configuration_files ;
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------;

the link to the freepbx.org site is not making sense for me…
is there any option in my freepbx web gui, where I can edit the features.conf?

or does anybody know an other solution for my problem?

thanks alot in advance!

There are a bunch of likes like this in your file:

#include features_featuremap_additional.conf
#include features_featuremap_custom.conf

Each of them is a config file in your /etc/asterisk directory. Generally, the “*_custom.conf” files are there for you to add your own features (in this case) to the system.

So, try editting the file ‘features_featuremap_custom.conf’ (unless there’s a _custom.conf file you’d rather use) and add the information that was suggested.

service asterisk restart

and you should be on your way. Check the /var/log/asterisk/full file for problems with your changes if you run into a problem.

ok, so i uncomment the

#include features_featuremap_custom.conf

line, and then?
in this link http://www.fosslc.org/drupal/node/643 the uncomment a line

automixmon => *3

which I don’ have, my features_featuremap_custom.conf file is empty…
in the next step they edit the extensions.conf file, but on top of this file again

indent preformatted text by 4 spaces; Do NOT edit this file as it is auto-generated by FreePBX. All modifications to ;; this file must be done via the web gui. There are alternative files to make    ;

; custom modifications, details at: http://freepbx.org/configuration_files

sry for asking that stupid, but I’m not that familiar with that

Sorry - got distracted.

The “#” in front of include isn’t a comment - it’s the include command.

Having said that, I don’t think you need to do anything with _custom.conf files for this to work. The page you are looking at is for updating the Asterisk service, which you are maintaining with FreePBX.

Setting the automixmon setting to “*3” can be done from the feature code setting page under the “Admin”->“Feature Codes” page. The “X” setting can be set in your SIP Settings page (IIRC).
