Answer second call or make a call when busy - spapakons - 11-03-2013 04:42 AM
Hello!
I'm searching your forum, but I don't seem to find what I need, so I decided to ask directly. I have a PC running Asterisk 2.4 and an OpenVOX B100P PCI ISDN BRI Card connected to an ISDN device with one main line and three MSN lines. I also have a Yealink SIP-T28P (6 lines) phone and two Tealink SIP-T20P (2 lines) phones. I have defined three SIP extensions, 510, 511 and 512. SIP-T28P is assigned extension 510 and the other two phones are assigned the other two extensions. I managed to configure Elastix so all phones ring at each incoming call. When I have a second call and one phone is busy, I can answer it from the other phones. What I want to do is to be able to put the first call on hold and answer the second call from the same device and select between the calls until I finish one of them. The SIP-T20P support two lines, so I want to be able to answer two calls from either of them while putting the first call on hold. The SIP-T28P supports 6 lines, so I want to be able to hold and reply at lest 2 and up to 6 calls. How can I do that? Please describe each setting/parameter in Elastix and the phones in detail, as I am a newbie and I cannot understand the relevant terminology.
In short, some time in the day I am alone in the office and I answer an incoming call at extension 511, say. While talking I hear a second incoming call. Of course, I don't want to run at the other end of the office to answer it, so I want to put the first call on hold and reply the second. I also want to be able to hold the second and return to the first if necessary. Another scenario is that I answer an incoming call and the customer asks for a product availability. How can I put him on hold and use the same device to call my provider?
Thank you for your time.

Hi spapakons,
Sorry for the late reply.
1. You can actually hold the second call during a call.
2. Another scenario is that I answer an incoming call and the customer asks for a product availability. How can I put him on hold and use the same device to call my provider?
[You can make a new call when you hold someone or transfer your call to others, conference with others etc.]
You can refer to the admin guide for settings and many using scenarios.

I may have the same problem. I can't answer a second inbound call if a line is active.
I can put the first call on hold, but pressing the flashing Line2 key doesn't answer the incoming call, it gives me dial tone.
I also can't hang up on line1 and answer line 2, just get dial tone. If the phone is idle when when line 2 is called I can answer line 2.

On my T28 if I am on a call and a second call comes in I press the "Answer" softkey under the display this places the first call on hold and answers the second call. I can then press the "swap"
softkey to switch back and forth between the 2 active calls.
RE: Answer second call or make a call when busy - jdackert - 11-19-2013 05:11 AM
I get Transfer, Hold, Pri-hold and Cancel softkeys that don't change when the second call rings in.
I changed my Settings> Softkey Layout> Incoming Call and "On Talk" to show Answer key. Answer key ignored by phone, still wants to dial a new call.

Hi jdackert,
Can you reset to factory and try again?
Do you enable the custom softey?(Check the attachment)

I have this same issue. I only have one DID I answer the first call and am almost finished when the second call comes in, I hang up the phone for a moment and then pickup to answer the second incoming call... Just a dial tone. I have to run to another phone to answer at that extension.
How can we fix this.

I have this same issue. Has anyone found a solution. When a call comes in I answer. I have one DID. When the second call rings. I am finishing the first call so I hang up for a second and then pickup again and it is just dial tone. Must run to a second phone to answer.

Hi,
What's your phone firmware and pbx server?
Have you enabled SCA feature under Account-> Advanced? If yes, please disable it and check again.
The pri-hold will appear when SCA is enabled.
Regards,
James

Hello, please help me!
I also have not found a topic that answers my doubts, I hope it answered.
A user on a call and another comes, he can meet and let the other on hold. Ok. The problem in the call center that second link records as abandonment if not answered. What do I want this second connection or touch, is simply busy and transfer to another user.
In each line configuration is to enable 'single line' but does not work.
Ops! Yealink T20P have device.
