How Do I enable the voicemail recording feature on the AT-530?

The AT-530 provides a recording feature. With this function, the user may record three VoIP messages and one local message.

Activate answering machine:

Select “Enable Voice Record” to activate the answering machine, and configure the No Answer Time box to an appropriate value (e.g. 20 seconds). If there is an incoming call and no one answers the call within the no answer time limit, then  the AT-530 will auto answer the call and ask that the caller leave a message.

Incoming Record Playing:

Plays the message recorded.

User-Defined Voice:

User can customizes the greeting voice for answering machine.
Note: The AT-530 supports a three message maximum, each message can be a maximum of 90 seconds. The answering service will be deactivated if the total messages stored reaches 3.

Record local message:

User may use local message to leave a message to other local users.

What is a Digit map file and how can it help me control the way my phone dials?

A Digit map is a set of rules that determines when the user has finished dialing. The AT-530/AG-188 supports the following digital map:

Digital Maps are rules that help the phone to judge when the user ends dialing and sends the inputted number to the server. The AG-188 supports the following categories within its digital map:

----End With “#” -- Uses # character as the end of dialing.

----Fixed Length -- When the length of the numbers dialed matches the number of characters, the call will be sent.

----Timeout -- Specify the timeout of the
last dial digit. The call will be sent after timeout value has been exceeded

----Prefix: User define digital map:

[ ] represents the range of digit, this can be a range e.g. [1-4], or use comma’s e.g. [1,3,5], or use a list e.g. [234]

x represents any one digit between 0~9

Tn represents the last digit timeout. n represents the time and can have a value between 0~9 second. Tn must be the last two digits in the entry. If Tn is not included in the entry, we use T0 as default, this means the system will send the number immediately if the number matches the entry.

Example:

[1-8]xxx All number from 1000 to 89999 will be sent immediately.

9xxxxxxx 8 digits numbers that begin with 9 will be sent immediately.

911 Number 911 will be sent will be immediately

99xT4 3 digits numbers begin with 99

How do you configure the AG-188 to switch between VoIP and PSTN?

The AG-188 supports a Lifeline function. You can use the same handset to place both PSTN and VoIP calls.

First you need to set up the Lifeline using the connector provided with your AG-188.

Then connect your analogue phone to the socket marked “phone” and then connect your landline to port labelled “Line”.

You can now receive incoming PSTN and VoIP calls.

To place the PSTN call, you need to configure the AG-188 as follows:

----Add a new dial rule in the Dial-Peer web page - set the phone number to *T, and select the Lifeline as the Call mode.

----Add a new Digital map item in the Advance Digital Map - set the Prefix Number to *, and the length to 1.

How do I perform an unattended transfer to a third party

An unattended transfer can be conducted as follows:

A is the AT-530 user and they receive an incoming call from B
A wishes to transfer B to talk to another colleague C
To accomplish this, A presses FWD button to hold the call with B and
then enters C's number (sometimes requires an # at the end of the number
to force the call)

A can press the FWD button to hold the call with B, and then enters C's number. B will is now transferred to C and can continue their conversation.

How do I perform an attended transfer when using IAX protocol?

The AT-530/AG-188 only has native support for the attended transfer of
calls whilst using the SIP protocol. If you are using IAX with the
AT-530/AG-188, then you need to use Asterisk/Trixbox's attended transfer
feature.

You can achieve this as follows:

First you need to add the following line to your /etc/asterisk/features.conf file atxfer= *2 ;attended transfer

Restart asterisk

In the following scenario B and C have internal Asterisk phone extension using AT-530's. A is a third party company dialling externally using the PSTN.

A calls B and asks to be transferred to C
B dials *2# and then inputs the extension number for C
C's phone will now ring, When C's picks up the receiver, B will be disconnected and A and C can start their conversation.
