Hello,

I did read the similar thread how-to-disable-call-waiting-in-the-3cxphone-21051.html

But the answer was to go to the 3XC Management Console, which I don't have because we're using our own custom Asterisk PBX. Is there an option to just use one line within the 3CX Phone itself? I have a queue system going on and the queue doesn't understand that a person is occupied because 3CXPhone accepts the phone call on the other line and just stays there trying to call the "available" person.

Thank you for your assistance.

this is probably a setting that you will have to find in your asterisk pbx to only allow 1 call at a time. the 3cx phone for windows does not have an option to limit the number of calls. it will except 5 i do beleive. your pbx should have an option to limit it or to trust the pbx busy option and not the phone busy option.

Hi

You can try following:

exit 3CXphone application, then, in its configuration file, under [General] section, add the following line:
OneCallMode=1
Save configuration file and start 3CXPhone.

After this tuning, 3CXphone will simply ignore any incoming call, coming from any active account, if there is at least one active call in progress. These ignored calls will be recorded as missed calls in phone's call history.

Keep in mind this is considered an "unsupported" feature, it means it might be changed or removed in the future and there is no tech support for it. Also, be extremely careful when you're using it: if you will forget you have enabled it, you will wonder why your phone accepts only one incoming call.

Hope it helps

Sorry Vali,
but where is the 3CX softphone configuration file located in newer version (19920).
It is not in "C:\Program Files\3CXPhone" any more ?

Hi Orlin

3CXPhone's configuration file has never been in "Program Files", because configuration is per computer's user; therefore, it's located in user's folder in "Document and Settings".

The easiest way to access it is from 3CXPhone's Debug window, File menu, Configuration folder... option - there is the 3CXVoipPhone.ini file.

Thanks Vali,

It's OK via Debug menu, otherwise I can't find it (I suppose it's my fault).

On the Asterisk server there are parameters in the SIP.CONF file which will control how many calls the phone is handling before it is considered busy and deal with the call accordingly.

There is a global parameter to be set:

limitonpeer=yes

And then per-peer variables:

call-limit=1
