Transfer as the type, Label of Park and 70 as your value (assuming that you have stayed with the standard parking lot of 70.

This has worked for quite a while with no issues across a number of FreePBX versions.

If you have an expansion console, you also have the can also setup several line keys on here to park it directly onto a Parking Slot e.g. drop the call onto 71 or 72 or etc....and the LED show red to indicate a parked call on that slot (or show the slot it is parked on when using the park 70 key.

Is this not working for you???

Hey Bob

That is the way I am doing it right now. The only thing feature that is missing is the parking lot number is not announced or shown in any way. I have one or two clients that are constantly on the phone and if they don't pay attention to the red lights on the phone they forget which parking lot their call is on.

Rather than dedicating a bunch of BLF buttons though for Yealink phones we typically implement a very simple XML script that can pull the call park info directly from Asterisk. Doing this, the call park button is setup as a transfer to 70, and then a second button is setup as XML browser to our script.

When the user hits the XML browser our script does a simple "asterisk -rx parkedcalls show", parses the output and formats it for Yealink "YealinkIPPhoneDirectory" XML list. That way any user gets to see not just parked calls, but actual info about them (i.e. what phone number is parked where), on demand, and can pickup any call simply by selecting it within the XML view. It's pretty slick and had made many of the old "key" customers comfortable making the switch to a proper PBX.

Hey Jolouis

This sounds awesome. Is there somewhere to access an example of this script? I have quite a bit of programming knowledge but I've never tried to put a script together for Yealink phones.
