Asterisk Call Pickup requires that callgroup and
pickupgroup be defined in sip.conf, however AMP does
not do so. It would be best if AMP defined these in the
database and Web GUI. However, for a small office
everyone having the same callgroup and pickupgroup
works fine. Therefore to add a constant callgroup and
pickupgroup to AMP the Perl script that generates
sip_additional.conf must be patched.
in /var/www/html/admin/retrieve_sip_conf_from_mysql.pl
after line 70 add
print EXTEN "callgroup=1\npickupgroup=1\n";
You must then add/delete/modify an extension to force
an update.
This will place everyone in callgroup and pickupgroup 1
and calls can be picked up by dialing *8. Note: I had to
update to Asterisk version 1.02 to get this feature to
work.
