FAQs
How do I use "Console commands" (transfer, dial, answer, hangup) from the cli?
You'll need chan_oss for that. Chan_oss connects the sound card to the outgoing line. By default it is disabled to include the module chan_oss, you will need to edit a section of the modules.conf file to match the sample below:
; Load either OSS or ALSA, not both ; By default, load OSS only (automatically) and do not load ALSA ; noload => chan_alsa.so ;noload => chan_oss.so
I configured a new IVR and clicked the check box that states "Enable Directory". When I call in and type # I get "I'm sorry, that's not a valid extension." What did I do wrong?
You must install Information Services, It provides a number of applications accessible by feature codes:
- Company directory
- Call Trace (last call information)
- Echo Test
- Speaking Clock
- Speak Current Extension Number
