Well, I decided I didn't like the way the autopatch default overrides (patchfarenddisconnect, patchnoct, patchdialtime) were implemented in app_rpt.pre-0-46-4.c so I ripped them out and started over. This method provides much more flexibility. Instead of specifying settings in the node configuration block, you now override the defaults in the function block for autopatch up. In other words, autopatchup can can optionally take comma delimited setting=value pairs. There are currently 5 setting=value pairs defined in app_rpt.pre-0-46-6.c: context=string Override default context with "string" dialtime=ms Specify the max number of milliseconds between phone number ) farenddisconnect=1 Automatically disconnect when called party hangs up noct=1 Don't send repeater courtesy tone during autopatch calls quiet=1 Don't send dial tone, or connect messages. Do not send patch down message when called party hangs up Example: 123=autopatchup,dialtime=20000,noct=1,farenddisconnect=1 The example will set a 20 second limit on dial time between phone number digits, not send the courtesy tone during the time the patch is up, and disconnect the patch if the called party hangs up. By redoing this, we gain a whole bunch more flexibility because we can define several different DTMF sequences for autopatchup which can direct the autopatch to act differently. By defining 3 different patch up sequences, you can now for example, have one for emergency numbers, one for normal numbers, and one for system information messages. You can set the individual autopatch up sequences to use different contexts which can then be added to extensions.conf. Note: I did not remove the autopatch up and down messages from the telemetry block. These are still there so that you can override the default up and down messages. app_rpt.pre-0-46-6c can be downloaded from http://zapatatelephony.com using the following URL: http://zapatatelephony.com/app_rpt.pre-0-46-6.c Note: are running asterisk 1.2.7.1 or earlier, you will need to uncomment the #define for OLD_ASTERISK at the top of the file.
