Topic: SAIL simulate incoming call

[mark_s_tt]

I've looked all over for an answer to this, anyone know if this is possible out of the box?

Thanks
Mark.

Still interested to know what the preferred method of acheiving ths is, or if it is in fact already implemented, but in the mean time, here's a workaround to simulate an incoming call uing 7777 same as other distros.

Create a new custom app and call it something like "simulatecall".

Just add the following line:
exten => 7777,1,Goto(mainmenu,yourphonenumber,1);

Where yourphonenumber is taken from the top of the [mainmenu] section of extensions.conf

This should now be in extensions.conf

Code: [Select]

[simulatecall]
; Simulate an incoming call from an internal phone

exten => 7777,1,Goto(mainmenu,yourphonenumber,1);

That's it.

Really liking SAIL btw.

More fun if you put up two SARK boxes and link them using Siblings.  You can cause all sorts of deliberate mayhem by looping calls back and forth -
