Redial Week 2 Homework
So far I have made my dialplan do about 75% of what I want it to do:

1. Plays greeting with description of the options. 1 connects to the DJ; 2 goes to a sound clip with more info about ITP Radio, then loops back to main menu; 3 goes to a live stream, with the ability to press any button during playback to return to main menu; 7 goes to voice mail; 9 is an unlisted “easter egg” extension. plays a clip about Louise. Everyone wants to be Louise.
2. If no extension is pressed, then it plays a sound file that prompts caller to make a selection.
3. If no extension is still pressed, then it says “goodbye” and hangs up.

 

When people call ITP Radio…

End of script.

NB: The Option 4 “more features” submenu has not been scripted or programmed yet. The Option 7 “voicemail system” submenu is also not yet functional. Until a feature becomes functional, it will play the “This feature is temporarily unavailable” sound file and then go back to the main menu.

 

I met with Shawn today during his office hours, he helped me set up the ITP Radio phone number (which I will not post here but if you would like to give a call, contact me and I will send it to you.) We can now send/receive calls when Gizmo is running on the ITP Radio computer. Gizmo is a free softphone that anyone can download and install. It can be configured to work with an Asterisk server to make calls using the SIP protocol.

The next step in this process is to create a voice menu system so when people call ITP Radio, they will have a host of options!
