Users withing the office can dial a 3 digit extension and that will ring a phone. The problem I'm running into is you have to press xxx then press 'send or 'dial'. The pbx doesn't recognize a 3 digit number as an internal extension and automatically dial it the user has to initiate that call. Asterisk automatically initiates calls w/ 9+7 digits and LD calls, 9+1+areacode+number. How would you tell the PBX try an extension once and 3 digits have been pressed. The exception being 9 as that gives a outside line. -- Rock River Internet Roger Grunkemeyer 202 W. State St, 8th Floor grunky@rockriver.net Rockford, IL 61101 815-968-9888 x101

Can anyone office suggestions on how to clean this code up?

The exception being 9 as that gives a outside line.I'm assuming you mean asterisk when you say pbx, and I am assuming you mean SIP phones from the 'send' or 'dial' comment. This sounds like a problem with the dialplan in the individual phones. So depending on what kind of phone you have, you will have to configure it differently. Even if this is an asterisk thing, it would be in your dialplan. You have configured it to match the longer sequences, but not the shorter ones. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
Roger,
Maybe you are using extensions like "_9." try to put de complete
number in
your estension.conf
ej; exten => _9XXXXXXX,1,Dial(.....
exten => 101,1,Dial(Zap/1)
............
in that case send congestion if the 3 digits extensions are not in
extensions.conf.

Asunto: [Asterisk-Users] call initiation
Users withing the office can dial a 3 digit extension and that will ring
a phone. The problem I'm running into is you have to press xxx then
press 'send or 'dial'. The pbx doesn't recognize a 3 digit
number as an
internal extension and automatically dial it the user has to initiate
that call. Asterisk automatically initiates calls w/ 9+7 digits and LD
calls, 9+1+areacode+number.
How would you tell the PBX try an extension once and 3 digits have been
pressed. The exception being 9 as that gives a outside line.

Others correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that:
Presumably, you have lines like:
exten => _XXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})
exten => _9NXXXXXX,1,Dial(ZAP/1/${EXTEN:1})
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN:1})
if none of your internal extensions start with a nine (ie if they are in
the range 000-899 or smaller), try changing the first to:
exten => _[0-8]XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})
or even narrower as your needs require
This way, * doesn't have to wait for you to stop dialing to distinguish
between outgoing 918185551212 and extension 918.
Hope this helps!
