asterisk users - Jul 2003 - H.323 Gateway Connection

Hi,

I'm trying to setup Asterisk to allow users to dial out to the PSTN using a
remote box supporting h.323. I'm using chan_h323.so, and I'm able to
make
outbound calls to a client like netmeeting with a line like this:

exten => 242,1,Dial(h323/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

And I'm able to receive incoming calls to asterisk. However I'm not sure
how
to route calls to the remote h.323 gateway. In my na?ve state I've tried
something like this (xxx is the IP of the h.323 gw): 

exten => 244,1,Dial(h323/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/PSTN-NUMBER-HERE)

When I dial 244, nothing happens, this appears in the console:

    -- Called xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  == No one is available to answer at this time

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin

exten => _91XXXXXXXXXX,1,Dial(H323/${EXTEN:1}@10.0.1.5)

${EXTEN:1} will grab all the digits you sent in 91XXXXXXXXXX and the :1, in
${EXTEN:1}, tells it to drop the first digit.

This is bad... if you use this kind of exten line PSTN-NUMBER-HERE will 
be the H.323ID Asterisk will use to make the call.


exten => 244,1,Dial(h323/PSTN-NUMBER-HERE@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) is the proper 
format.

Hi Justin,

Try:

exten=>242,1,Dial(h323/PSTN-NUMBER-HERE@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
