Hi Group: I have 3 asterisk boxes in different countries which are interconnected using IAX2 trunks. The outbound routing makes the link to the various 4 digit extensions transparent. Users would like to be able to dial into their local box via a PSTN connection (landline or cell) and then be able to dial the 4 digit extension they want to reach (the same as they do when they pick up the handset in the office). I thought I wanted to use DISA but that appears to only give a PSTN dial tone from which the user can't dial an extension. Any thoughts on the configuration needed to enable the ability to dial extensions (including extensions on remote boxes) entered by the user once asterisk answers the call? Tony. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20060911/7a3ab53e/attachment.htm
Disa is what you want -- just make sure the context is the same as a
local extension so they can dial anything a local extension can.

Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is:
How do
you spend it?

DISA doesn't connect the caller to a PSTN dial tone, it just happens to (in the US at least) sound like the PSTN one. It is asterisk providing the dial tone, waiting for digits to match to a specific context. Just make sure that the context they are in, like John said, contains the four-digit extensions you want them to have access to :) Moj Tony Di Bona wrote:> Hi Group: > > I have 3 asterisk boxes in different countries which are interconnected > using IAX2 trunks.

You just need to make sure that the context the outside users dial from (whether or not you use DISA) includes the context that contains the internal extensions.
