I am trying to use outbound socket to set up a conference, unfortunately I can not get my bind_digit_action calls to work in-conference. My setup is pretty boiler-plate: autoload_configs/conference.conf.xml <configuration name="conference.conf" description="Audio Conference"> ... <profiles> <profile name="simonconf"> <param name="rate" value="8000"/> <param name="interval" value="20"/> <param name="energy-level" value="300"/> <param name="caller-controls" value="none"/> </profile> </profiles> </configuration> dialplan/default.xml <include> <context name="default> <extension name="simon1"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^800$"> <action application="bind_digit_action" data="random_context,*3,exec:playback,ivr/ivr-welcome_to_freeswitch.wav" /> <action application="digit_action_set_realm" data="random_context"/> <action application="answer"/> <action application="conference" data="random_conference@simonconf "/> </condition> </extension> <extension name="simon2"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^900$"> <action application="bind_digit_action" data="random_context,*3,exec:playback,ivr/ivr-welcome_to_freeswitch.wav" /> <action application="digit_action_set_realm" data="random_context"/> <action application="socket" data="127.0.0.1:8888 async full"/> </condition> </extension> </context> </include> Listening on port 8888, I have a server which issues: connect sendmsg call-command: execute execute-app-name: answer sendmsg call-command: execute execute-app-name: conference execute-app-arg: random_conference@simonconf event-lock: true Calling into simon1, the *3 will work. Calling in to simon2, *3 will not work. If I do not join the user into the conference, *3 works in both setups. Is there any particular reason that *3 would not work in the simon2 setup? Thanks, spd
