Topic: redirect unknown caller

[gery]

Hi Selintra,

is there a possibility to redirect an unknown caller to an extension/voicemail?

Thanks

You would need to define "known" and "unknown".   Since all we have is CLID (and maybe not even that with analogue lines), then you would need to provide a pool of known caller-ids.  Assuming you have that, then it is trivial to create a custom app to do a look-up and make a routing decision.   If you give us more context on the question then maybe we can give you a better answer than we just have.

Kind Regards

I use this http://wiki.contribs.org/Sail_and_LDAP
How can I?

Hi,

Is this http://wiki.contribs.org/Sail_and_LDAP only a lookup of incoming CID or can i use this also as a phonebook for my phones (linksys spa942) ?


kind regards

It is purely a lookup (and none-the-worse for that).

Snom units can read LDAP directories but I don't believe that SPA's can.

Have you looked at Xtelsio as a TAPI/Outlook integrator?  It is very good.

I will take a look at Xtelsio, what i found is http://grimsy.blogspot.com/2007/06/spa942-personal-directory-with-ldap.html what do you think about this, is that usable for non-linksys phones also ?

The overall problem is i have the customers phonenumbers in a mysql-database.

Sorry for my unprecise describtion.

My consideration was that if someone calls me with no CLID and asterisk sends "unknown" to my telphone display (no CLID) i would redirect him directly to voicemail: "Your call will only be received if you don't block your phone number." Is this possible?

Thanks

WE already do domething similar for Snom and Aastra phones - look at seldir.conf in headers.  This automatically populates the snoms and aastras.  WE could extend this to spas without too much trouble.

If that's all you wish to do then you can create a very simple custom app (don't trust my syntax - I'm winging this, but you get the idea).....

Code: [Select]

exten=>s,1,GoToIf ($["${CALLERIDNUM}" = ""]?3)
exten=>s,2,GoTo(wherever_you_were_going_in_the_first_place,1)
exten->s,3,GoTo(somewhere_to_handle_no_callerid,1)

Hi Selintra,

That would be great if we can do that for the linksys-phones !!!

Hello Selintra,

WE could extend this to spas without too much trouble.

Is there anything i can do in the meantime ?

To save us having to look it up you can show us what the SPA XML looks like for a directory entry.

I am afraid xml personal directory is not possible or ?

Don't worry, we have a provisioning guide here somewhere.  I'll look it out next week.

Well, I dug out the Linksys provisioning guide yesterday and I think you may be out of luck.    For reasons best known to themselves, Linksys publish no XML or native code for defining the directory entries on the tftp server.   Looks like you're stuck with the few php (and one .net) examples which push the data out to the phone.

Kind Regards
