asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Using a variable for EXTEN

Hi,

I tried set up a global var for an extension, like this

[globals]

IPPHONES=_3XX

[sip]

exten=>${IPPHONES},1,Answer

What I would like to do is to make a dialplan without fixed extension
numbers to change the entire dialplan according to the customer
requests: what exten number do you want for your IP Phones ? let me change
a variable and we are set!

It seems that this is not supported, am I getting somethig wrong in
the syntax? There is another way to accomplish that ?

Tnx!

Works like that for me (tm).  If it's not working look carefully at all
your config files.
