features.conf

Formerly known as parking.conf , renamed to features.conf as of July 17, 2004.

Configuration of Asterisk call parking

; What ext. to dial to park:
parkext => 700
; What extensions to park calls on:
parkpos => 701-720
; Which context parked calls are in,
; need to INCLUDE this in extensions.conf:
context  => parkedcalls
; Number of seconds a call can be parked
; for (default is 45 seconds):
parkingtime => 45

; after park times out, call will ring back to the original extension

Note: There is no need to restart * after making changes to features.conf - simply "module reload features" or "features reload" at the CLI.

Added to Asterisk with v1.2 release:

Allow to use something other than *8 to pickup a ringing line in your call group.
This feature can be used via the features.conf file in your asterisk directory:

pickupexten = *8 ; Configure the pickup extension. Default is *8

Some SIP phones and ATA's can interfere with service codes like *8 so you can change the pickupexten to some other value. For example, if your extensions are in the range of 201-299, you may want to pick 200.

;transferdigittimeout => 3      ; Number of seconds to wait between digits when transferring a call
                                ; (default is 3 seconds)
;xfersound = beep               ; to indicate an attended transfer is complete
;xferfailsound = beeperr        ; to indicate a failed transfer
;pickupexten = *8               ; Configure the pickup extension. (default is *8)
;pickupsound = beep             ; to indicate a successful pickup (default: no sound)
;pickupfailsound = beeperr      ; to indicate that the pickup failed (default: no sound)
;featuredigittimeout = 1000     ; Max time (ms) between digits for
                                ; feature activation  (default is 1000 ms)
;atxfernoanswertimeout = 15     ; Timeout for answer on attended transfer default is 15 seconds.
;atxferdropcall = no            ; If someone does an attended transfer, then hangs up before the transferred
                                ; caller is connected, then by default, the system will try to call back the
                                ; person that did the transfer.  If this is set to "yes", the callback will
                                ; not be attempted and the transfer will just fail.
                                ; For atxferdropcall=no to work properly, you also need to
                                ; define ATXFER_NULL_TECH in main/features.c.  The reason the
                                ; code is not enabled by default is spelled out in the comment
                                ; block near the top of main/features.c describing ATXFER_NULL_TECH.
;atxferloopdelay = 10           ; Number of seconds to sleep between retries (if atxferdropcall = no)
;atxfercallbackretries = 2      ; Number of times to attempt to send the call back to the transferer.
                                ; By default, this is 2.
