thanks, I will have to think about it and better even sleep on it, however it seems like those would be some lines to add to extension_custom.cfg (or what are those config files called) by direct editing them or what (as opposed using FPBX), that goes over my head, seems I donât even pass exgirlfriend logic test LOL
I have just spent some time after posting tinkering with the followme and it now looks as if I donât understand what DISA means
I thought âDirect Invard System Accessâ means it puts outside line âcaller inâ into a position as if one was on LAN where asterisk resides and picked up an extension - then he could dial another extension or make outside call over trunk, whatever
however in the FollowMe setup if I select to switch to another âfollowedâ extension after ringing the original extension for 15 seconds (which would give me chance to answer it if I am around) it rings that second extension for preset time and then because no one pick it up, it goes to => Destination If No Answer: where I selected the radio button next to DISA - this choice has roll down menu and my DID provider is only selection there and that puzzles me
I mean not that there is only one selection, I did make only this one DISA but what puzzles me is that DISA forces one into one choice, be it extension or a trunk, while I was hoping it would open up * and I could dial anything I please same as if I was at home where * and extensions are
to test it I use third extension to ring my own main one which I donât answer, Followme then correctly passes the call to second extension which is set to ring only few seconds (or if is not registered at all, ie dummy extension, then it goes directly to fallback Destination if no answer) and then when nobody answers it, the Follow me goes to -> âDestination if no answerâ where I selected DISA and I get some dial tone and it asks me to âenter password followed by the pound keyâ
ok, I input the PIN that I have setup in DISA for that DID provider (seems like that is something illogical I did there, DID is number to call IN, not outâŚ) followed by pound sign and get told that is not valid response of something like that
basically the problem is that in the Followme option Destination if no Answer: DISA again one gets to choose only one destination in that drop down menu and not FULL System Access which is what I thought DISA gives one, I could setup DISA for each of my extensions and trunks but then still I could only select one to use while I want to be in position to dial local extension or a number that will go to outside on trunk, whateverâŚ
bottom line is I donât know what DISA does, there shouldnât be any DISAs to setup the way I understand it BUT there are, makes no sense to me, I mean System access means system wide access, not access to one extension at a time or a trunk etc.
