Can not do a pickup with \*8"...manual says \""*8#\"""""

Posted by mattdarnell on Mon, 01/14/2008

I am not able to perform a pickup using "*8"...This is a straight pickup, haven't started to use park yet.

If I grep /etc/asterisk for "*8" I dont' see it in the dialplan anywhere.

I don't see where to add additional pickup groups & call groups. All the users are set to Based on Tenant ID.

Anyone using pickup?

It had:

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

Changed it to:

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

It works great now....thanks for the tip!
