Hello Lucas Tifoski,

Although i do not recomend this, it can be done by altering the MAXCALLDURATION field in settings>>parameteres. Keep in mind that, altering this field, will affect the entire PBX because of the fact that parameters are global variables as well as altering parameters can sometimes cause system malfunction.

Thank you

Hello @IoannisM_3CX

How are you?

What, for example, can be affected on my system if I change this field?

Thanks.

Hello Lucas Tifoski,

For the specific parameters, i guess nothing will be affected to the point where something won't work, i just wanted to inform you that generally speaking, altering parameters can sometimes cause malfunctions. Also note just for future reference, that if you alter the max call duration time,it will affect all calls, you don't have any option on which calls will this apply to.

Thank you

Thank you @IoannisM_3CX

I get it! But I need to do this!

Another question: Can I set up call queues to announce an incoming call to an attendant who is already on call?

Thank you for your help!

Hello ltifoski,

If i understood well of what you are saying, is that when a queue is triggered and at the same time an agent of the queue is on another call,you want that agent to be informed. If this is the case, this cannot happen because the point of a queue is to forward the caller to an available agent (following some strategies of how this forwarding will be handled,supposing the agent is a member and logged in the queue) in order the caller to get a line. There is no point to announce incoming calls to busy agents. Incoming calls to busy agents are announcement when someone is calling the exact agent because that means the caller want to talk with the specific agent.
