Session originate

From FreeSWITCH Wiki

Originates a new call with an existing session object.

 

Indeed! Avi Marcus couldn't figure out how to get this to work, so he used the following to access the API originate:

api = freeswitch.API()
api:execute("originate", "sofia/gateway/mygateway/123456789 9664")

Note: Use "session.originate" if no other options exist. You can originate calls using the session constructor:

session = freeswitch.Session("sofia/gateway/mygateway/123456789")
session.transfer(9664);

Usage

5389 and later

result = new_session.originate(session, dest[, timeout]);

Pre 5389

result = new_session.originate(session, dest[[[[[[[[[[, dialplan], context], cid_name], cid_num], network_addr], ani], aniii], rdnis], username], timeout]);

• session - the session of the A leg of a call
• dest - Dialplan compliant destination string ("sofia/sip/1234@10.10.2.55") including "," and "|" parms
• dialplan - Name of dialplan module (default = "xml") such as xml, enum, etc.
• context - context within the dialplan (default = "default")
• cid_name - callerid name to use.
• cid_num - callerid number to use.
• network_addr - caller profile network address
• ani - caller profile ANI
• aniii - caller profile ANI-II
• rdnis - caller profile RDNIS
• username - caller profile username
• timeout - Time out value in seconds
