My Siemens A580 has options for controlling the R key. It seems that you can either have it setup for transfer or as a hook flash. Default is as a transfer key. I haven't succeeded in getting it to work for transfer and it is wayyyyy down low on my list of things to do with the phone.
From the web UI:
Call Transfer Use the R key to initiate call transfer with the SIP Refer method.: Yes No Transfer Call by On-Hook: Yes No Derive target address: from SIP URL from SIP contact header Find target addr. automatically: Yes No Hook Flash (R-key) R key settings are disabled because the R key is being used for call transfer.

Sorry for the repost, but the previous thread just died :-)
I'm trying to get the possibility of transfering an incoming call from one extension to another, and give the possibility of turning it into a conference. I don't have a 'transfer' button. I do have an 'R' button on the Siemens handsets, and a 'Flash' button on the Sipura. The 'Flash' button gives me a new dialtone, gives the caller MOH, and then I can dial the new extension, and transfer the call, but not create a conference. But the Siemens handset does not have a 'flash', and pressing the R doesn't do anything.
It might be two different features 'transfer' and 'conference'...
But I thought that using the bind_meta_app would accomplish both.
It's on an incoming call from the outside. So the situation: The Public folder has an entry that matches the dialed number, and does a transfer to 8202. Then the dialplan matches the 8202 with a group, and the phone rings. Somebody picks it up, finds out that it needs to be transferred to another extension, or transferred to a conference with a second extension. How do I construct that?
Best regards Fribse
