asterisk users - Jul 2004 - Asterisk+zaphfc: how to answer incoming calls from a BRI (EuroISDN)?

Hi all,

finally yesterday I was able to set up my Asterisk machine and now it
works greatly.

Assuming I use Asterisk also to manage a BRI via a HFC based ISDN card,
I can dial outgoing calls via ISDN but I still can't answer incoming
calls from that BRI. I read that special extension 's' is for analog
only. What do I have to put in extensions.conf to make Asterisk answer
incoming calls? I supposed that it should be something like the
following:

	[default]

	exten => 0991234567,1,Answer
	exten => 0991234567,2,Goto(100,1)	# transfer the call to
extension 100

where 099 is my local area code and 1243567 is the phone number
associated with the BRI, but it doesn't work. Do I have to configure
something else?

Thanks,

Alex

Don't use Answer/Goto, use Dial() instead.

exten=0991234567,1,Dial(SIP/abissoli)



This assumes that your telco really sends this "0991234567". AFAIK
this is
different from telco to telco, some omit the zero, some the areacode, 
some send only the last 4 digits.

When you have an extra contest for this, it's easy to catch them all:

[in-pstn]
exten=0991234567,1,Dial(SIP/abissoli)
exten=991234567,1,Dial(SIP/abissoli)
exten=1234567,1,Dial(SIP/abissoli)
exten=5567,1,Dial(SIP/abissoli)

This assumes that you have context=in-pstn in proper section of your 
zaptel.conf file.


(Actually I just changed DeStar in my CVS to generate this config)
