parking orbit- can it be something other than ext#?

[mattlandis]

Hello,

 

It seems we can only park calls in an space that is an extension number. Is this how pbxnsip is meant to work?

 

for example if i transfer a call to *85200 when there is no 200 extension it will fail.

 

i thot at one time you could park in an arbitrary parking space?

No, you are right it has to be an extension. Originally there were seperate park orbits; but that had the disadvantage that you always needed to assiciate the extension with a park orbit. Having this in the same number makes it very easy to park the call (almost like holding it) and then later retrieve it from there.

I am using accounts (not extensions) as park orbit. Configuring for example a Service-Flag as park orbit works for me...

Rudi,

 

Thanks for that tip. It will make pbxnsip work smoother for me.
