asterisk users - Nov 2008 - Preserving DID numbers on PRI pass through

Hello all,

I have the following working (somewhat) setup:

  TELCO
    |
    |
E1 (30 Chan -- TE210 SPAN 2)
    |
    |
Asterisk box 1.6 with
DAHDI drivers loaded
Digium TE210p
    |
    |
E1 (30 Chan -- TE210 SPAN 1)
    |
    |
 NEC PBX

Unless this is only a paraphrase of what you have, I think you should
use ${EXTEN} instead of ${ARG1}:

[from-pstn]
exten => _555573XX,1,Dial(DAHDI/g1/${EXTEN},,T)
> [from-nec]

And here, why the 's' extension? I would do:

[from-nec]
exten => _X!,,1,Dial(DAHDI/g1/${EXTEN},,T)

I think ${ARG1} etc should only be used within macros.

Cheers
Tony

Dear Tony,

Thanks.  Found that problem and that now works :)

Now I have a different problem, but different thread for that.
