Call pickup procedure

While call parking is easy (routing the call to park/any will automatically create a parking orbit and transfer the call) picking it up is a bit more complicated and requires a little scripting. We'll use the pickup.php included in yate's svn.

See Main.LibYatePHPOnWindows for instructions if you are using windows

add the following to extmodule.conf

 
[scripts]
pickup.php=#8
 

or add a listener and then execute "php pickup.php" if you are running yate on windows

 
[listener test]
type=tcp
addr=0.0.0.0
port=5039
role=global
 

after restarting yate dialing #82000 will pickup parked calls in FIFO order. Thanks to Ralf Schneider for his guidance on this

Old documentation

Here following the old chapter. I am not able to understand a single word of it - I will remove it sooner or later unless someone helps me understanding and explaining it.

See pbx for routing details

Due to the protocol limitations, only the SIP channel can automatically request a call pickup through the Replaces header of an INVITE request.

To handle this, set the following line in regexroute.conf:

${sip_replaces}^\([^;]\+\)=pickup/\0

to pickup the channel id got in the Replaces header until the first ';' character
