`ParkAndAnnounce()`

Parks the current call and announces the parking space on the specified channel.

        
          ParkAndAnnounce(template,timeout,channel[,return-context])

Parks the current call in the parking lot, but announces the parking space on another, specified channel. The template specifies a colon-delimited list of sound files to be played; the word PARKED in the example below is replaced with the parking space number assigned to the parked call. The timeout sets the maximum time the call may be parked before it is placed back in the return-context. The channel denotes the channel on which the announcement is to be made (in our example, Console/dsp prints the announcements to the Asterisk console). The return-context is a label in GoTo() format that determines the context to return the call to if it is not retrieved from the parking lot by a user within the defined timeout window. The default return priority is n+1 in return-context.

[Description]
  ParkAndAnnounce(announce:template|timeout|dial|[return_context]):
Park a call into the parkinglot and announce the call to another channel
.

announce template: Colon-separated list of files to announce.  The word 
PARKED
                   will be replaced by a say_digits of the extension in 
which
                   the call is parked.
timeout:           Time in seconds before the call returns into the retu
rn
                   context.
dial:              The app_dial style resource to call to make the
                   announcement.  Console/dsp calls the console.
return_context:    The goto-style label to jump the call back into after
                   timeout.  Default <priority+1>.

The variable ${PARKEDAT} will contain the parking extension into which t
he
call was placed.  Use with the Local channel to allow the dialplan to ma
ke
use of this information.
