Hello Avi,

As you can tell from the subject line and my one line question, I was asking about the "bridge" command and not originate.

Also, I wasn't asking what it does. My question was "the difference" between pipe | and :_:?

Thank you for responding though.

Regards,

Ali Pey

Enterprise originate
The so called 'enterprise originate' syntax is a way to simultaneously originate multiple calls in several threads (regular simultaneous originate is single threaded). To use it simply separate valid dial strings by :_: . Each dial string can have its own {} and [] blocks and can themselves be simultaneous or sequential (containing ',' or '|') as above. To add channel variables to the entire enterprise originate use <> blocks:
originate <all_threads=true>{first_thread=true}sofia/gw/foo/bar:_:{second_thread=true}sofia/gw/foo/baz
This can be helpful when dealing with call forwarding. Without it, FreeSWITCH™ would drop the simultaneous dial and transfer to the forwarded extension.

For example, I'm bridging to two SIP phones, 101 and 102, with "," between them. 101 redirects to some other URL. 102 will now stop ringing. With :_: it wouldn't.

By default each new thread is it's own A-leg in the CDRs. You can access the variable ent_originate_aleg_uuid to put the call back together.

Hello,

What's the difference between pipe '|' and :_: in a multiple sequential bridge destinations command?

They both seem to do sequential calling.
