Ring Group Strategy: Rollover - Question

[Methodz86]

Hi Everyone, I've looked in the official doco but can't seem to find the exact answer for the below:

• Rollover Calls destinations in sequence and skips busy destinations.

Now we all know that if you chose 'sequence' it will Calls destinations in sequence where order that is lower goes first.

My question:- If I chose roll-over with 3 extensions in my Ring Group but leave all 3 at the same order '0' should they all ring at the same time? Because none of them are lower priority than the other 2. When I tested this theory it seemed to ONLY ring the first extension in my list even though they all had same priority.

I basically want it to ignore busy agents while still ringing all other extension that are not busy at the same time. If I chose 'Simultaneous' and one of the end points have call waiting or DND on will that treat the inbound call as a whole to be "Busy" and ignore all 3 extensions just because 1 single agent has call waiting disabled? Any advise is appreciated.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

I wouldn't make the assumption this statement is correct.

A better question would be:
How can I use a ring group while ignoring DND and Follow me?

Personally, I just tell off key users in a ring group who use DND.

Thanks James, I appreciate your input however that does not help me much. I can't just "tell my customers off" for using DND

"I basically want it to ignore busy agents while still ringing all other extension that are not busy at the same time"
same requirements, and ring groups work really bad.

For example, if first destination is not connected, it goes to timeout destination and not ring other destinations.

Set the Ring Group strategy to Enterprise and try again.

Hello,
I tried all option i am also facing similar issue with ringgroup if i have 4 lines 1st lines is unregistered it wont ring on other 3 lines... another issue with simultaneous ring group is i have 4 lines in my single phone if i put all lines in ring group it is all ringing sametime and if they dont pickup it is showing 4 missed call... so my question is very simple if we have 4 lines in ringgroup how can we skip bussy or unregistered extension and ring to next one...

This is currently not possible with Ring Groups. Ring Group Rollover is fully dependent on the phone returning a busy in order to roll over.

It seems quite clear this.
The problem is that it seems does not exist any way to distribute calls to a groups of extensions skipping extensions not connected to the PBX, and also avoiding that every user may manually login to the PBX (as queues require). Nor ring groups and queues allow to perform this basic scenario.

My opinion this is a really basic requirement, and not finding a way to solve it is really frustrating for me.

I didn't say it was impossible with FusionPBX but I did say it doesn't work with ring groups unless the endpoint returns a busy singal. If you want to figure it out on your own here is a link to FreeSWITCH documentation https://freeswitch.org/confluence/.

We just tried the "Enterprise" ring group strategy and set the destinations with time offsets like this:

Destination    Delay    Timeout
101            0        10
102            10       10
103            20       10

which emulates the "Rollover" strategy but shouldn't have a problem e.g. with an unregistered extension as it works with individual threads.

HTH

This style of rollover does work but it doesn't skip destinations that are busy.

Enterprise also not working

I agree - enterprise is not working. When calling an ext directly it WILL ring the ext and the follow me list. But when that same ext is part of a ring group, it is only ringing the ext,not the follow me

On master branch (4.5), there is a “follow me” option. If set to “true” and using “Enterprise” they will ring through to follow me destinations

 

[Andrew Byrd]

I am on 4.5.11 , set to true, enterprise. Does not work. Where are you setting the follow me option to true at? I see it in default settings

 

[ad5ou]

In ring group edit page between “user list” and “missed call”

 

[Andrew Byrd]

I never saw that option until you brought it to my attention. Now it works like a charm. Thank you!
