[Freeswitch-dev] How to dial out from an existing conference?

[Jean-Pierre Poulin]

Hi all,
 
I am attempting to initiate an outgoing call from a valid conference, and after 
over 10 hours of head scratching trying many things on two different builds I 
have not been able to do so.
 
Has anyone been able to initiate calls from conference rooms to invite another 
extension to the conference?
 
I have tried your suggested commands and they give me the same error messages as 

“conference dial”

According to the docs, I should be able to initiate an outgoing call to a 
registered extension with a command like “conference 3000-192.168.0.11 dial 
sofia/internal/1001 at 192.168.0.11”

 
My setup is as follows: 
- Latest version of the latest Freeswtich installed on Windows 7 / 64 
bit. (version reports "FreeSWITCH Version 1.0.head (git-cab1565 2010-05-18 
10-42-16 -0400)")
- All configuration settings are at their defaults, including the 
dialplan.
- By registering an extension 1001 with X-lite on the main computer, 
and extension 1002 on another computer, both can call each other normally and 
join conferences together and everything works great.
- Thinking this could be an X-lite issue, I have also registered 
extension 1004 on Bria on iPhone 4 and it can connect directly to the others, be 

connected by the other extensions and can connect fine to conference calls.

For my application I need Freeswitch conferences to be able to dial out to other 

registed phones.  After reading the docs, studying the dialplan, I have still 
been unable to do so after a half-day of trying various permutations and am 
currently grasping at straws… (I am currently compiling Freeswtich for Linux to 
see if it works there)

I have also tried the following commands as you suggested:
- originate sofia/internal/1004 at 192.168.0.11 &conference(3300-192.168.0.11)
- originate sofia/internal/1004 at 192.168.0.11 
&conference(3300-192.168.0.11 at default)
- originate sofia/internal/1004 at 192.168.0.11 conference:3300 at default inline
- originate sofia/internal/1004 at 192.168.0.11 
conference:3300-192.168.0.11 at default inline

But in all cases to any registered phones on 3 machines get an error as 
“NO_USER_RESPONSE” and “Cannot Blind Transfer 1 Legged Calls” as the log entry 
below reveals.

Should I try this whole thing in Freeswitch on Linux?
