Add Custom:Device to channels monitored for a button

DLNoah

I've noticed that (at least on Asterisk 10, and presumably on any version post 1.6 that supports DEVICE_STATE) the AMI is sending events for when a Custom device changes state; is there any way FOP can be extended to use these events? I deleted my debug file earlier, but I can get the events again for you this evening/weekend if you want.

What do you want to monitor exactly? What is your idea? Can you give an example? Manager events will also be helpful.

I would like to react on this request because I have an example

I have a configuration for some users: 1 deskphone, 1 dect phone and 1 dialplan extension for both.
exten => 300,1,Dial(SIP/400&SIP/500)
exten => 300,hint,SIP/400&SIP/500

I am using DEVICE_STATE to check the status, and when 400 or 500 is making a call.
I am showing 300 on the callee display

Will it be possible for Flash Operator Panel to show 300 as an extension button and to report line status as a physical extension?

Thanks in advance

fop2 can monitor multiple devices for one button using the channel directive, so if you have a button for one sip device, you can extend it to monitor other devices by adding the propper channel directives:

[SIP/100]
type=extension
extension=100
context=from-internal
label=John
channel=SIP/200

with the above setting , calls for both SIP/100 and SIP/200 will be shown on that button status. If you use fop2admin, you have a channel field to set in every button, you can add several channel separated with &.

A not of warning, when a button monitors more than one channel, you cannot have ANOTHER button displaying status for those extra channels.

Hi Nicolas,

Great thanks for your prompt answer.
I set the following button:

[SIP/9791]
type=extension
extension=9700
context=local
label=Virtual Test
channel=SIP/9778

It works as expected for outgoing call, but for incoming calls it shows 2 lines, could I prevent this behavior to show only one line?

Best regards,
Christian

If you have both channels active on inbound calls, it will show the two lines ringing as both channel are ringing. If only one rings, you will see only one line.
