Formely known as parking.conf , renamed to features.conf as of 7/17/04 in CVS.


Configuration of Asterisk call parking

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

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

Note: Must Restart * after making changes to features.conf, a simple RELOAD is not enough

Added to CVS right after the v1.0 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 interfear 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.
