asterisk users - Sep 2008 - Pressing 0 to get an external line

Hi Asterisk users!

I have a little problem with an Asterisk 1.4.22 installation for a
customer. The PBX is connected to an E1 line and we have a few snom 300
attached to it.

The goal is to emulate traditional german PBX behaviour wich is the play
a stuttered "internal" dialtone after pickup and accept all internal
extensions. If a specific "get office" digit - usually 0 - is pressed
you get the normal dialtone. Now you can enter the external telephone
number end get connected immediately without pressing "dial" on the
snom
phone.

My problem here is first to implement this internal/external dialtone
and second to make the phone dial without pressing "dial" on the
phone.
Because the length of telephone numbers in germany is not constant we
will have to implement this with a timeout or by somehow overlap-dialing
digit by tigit to the E1.

I hope one of you already implemented this behaviour or can maybe push
me in the right direction.

Thanks a lot
Christian

My advice is to forget about "dial 0 to get to the outside line"
mentality when using Asterisk.  However, you can easily implement "dial
0 to get to the outside line" in Asterisk but the problem is once 0 is
dialled, it is totally outside Asterisk's control.
For example, you cannot use Asterisk to bar some numbers which you don't
want users to call.

Because of the varied nature of the telephone numbers that people may
dial, I think it makes sense to get the users to press dial or send
after they have enter their number.

Hello,

You can use DISA application without authentication to fake the
dialtone of traditional german PBX.

This might be a first scratch
exten => _X.,1,Answer
exten => _X.,2,DigitTimeout(5)
exten => _X.,3,ResponseTimeout(10)
exten => _X.,4,DISA(no-password|mycontext)

And with this DigitTimeout  and Response Timeout you may solve the
need to press dial I guess...



Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Mouta

indications.confhere is the example script from asterisk-france, the guy had
the exact same problem
[Appel_Sortant_Isdn]
exten => _0,1,Set(Flag_Playtone = 0)
exten => _0,n,Playtones(!440)
exten => _0,n(Continue),Read(Digits,,1,,,3)
exten => _0,n,GotoIf($["${LEN(${Digits})}" !=
"0"]?:Suite)
exten => _0,n,GotoIf($["${Flag_Playtone}" = "0"
]?Va_Indexer)
exten => _0,n,Set(Flag_Playtone = 1)
exten => _0,n,StopPlaytones
exten => _0,n(Va_Indexer),Set(Call_Number=$[${Call_Number}${Digits}])
exten => _0,n,Goto(Continue)
exten => _0,n(Suite),Answer
exten => _0,n,Set(CDR(userfield)=${Call_Number})
exten => _0,n,Dial(${Canal_Isdn}/${Call_Number},${dial_tout},T)
exten => _0,n,NoOp(Dial Status: ${DIALSTATUS})
exten => _0,n,Macro(Status_Dial|${DIALSTATUS})
exten => _0,n,hangup
