If you update your source from the CVS, you'll get a new SIP channel
that supports a new syntax for SIP calls in extensions.conf
If you define a SIP peer in sip conf, like
[mysipprovider]
...
You can now use
dial(SIP/mysipprovider/extension)
Where the part "mysipprovider" is related to the sip.conf section.
Also, you can dial any SIP URL by
dial(SIP/extension@domain)
like
dial(SIP/oej@edvina.net)
In this case, "domain" referes to a Internet domain that Asterisk (if
configured
for DNS SRV records in SIP.conf) will resolve using DNS to the SIP proxy
belonging
to the domain. In the example the domain "edvina.net" does not have to
be configured in
SIP.conf.
The old way, SIP/extension@mysipprovider, is confusing, since this is not a URL,
but a reference to the "mysipprovider" section of SIP.conf. The new
way makes
it easier to read extensions.conf and understand when you dial a URL and when
you dial
to a provider or SIP client configured in SIP.conf.
I will update the Wiki with the new syntax soon, have to reconfigure my server.
