Transfer() — Transfers the caller to a remote extension

Synopsis

Transfer([Technology/]destination[,options)

Requests that the remote caller be transferred to the given (optional Technology and) destination. If the Technology is set to IAX2, SIP, Zap, etc., then transfer will happen only if the incoming call is of the same channel type.

Upon completion, this application sets a channel variable named TRANSFERSTATUS to one of the following values:

SUCCESS

The transfer was successful.

FAILURE

The transfer was not successful.

UNSUPPORTED

The transfer was not supported by the underlying channel driver.

If the options parameter is set to the letter j and the transfer is not supported or successful, and there exists a priority n+101 (where n is the current priority), that priority will be taken next.

; transfer calls from extension 123 to extension SIP/123@otherserver
exten => 123,1,Transfer(SIP/123@otherserver)
