asterisk users - Oct 2004 - new quad T1 install

Hi Folks,

I'm about to install my first quad T1 card. I don't foresee any issues
with compiling the software but I'm looking for advice on how to handle
a few things.

Firstly, I have a PRI which will be connected to the card. How does *
know that a call for 732 111 3714 should get routed to extn 3714? 

How do I get 3714's CLI to be 732 111 3714 on outbound calls?

How does * handle the calls going out? I'm guessing this is something to
do with Dial(zap/something)?

Any tips etc would be greatly received.

Mark

Simple enough, your PRI provider will send some portion of the number to 
you, many times it's the last 4 digits, sometimes I've seen 10 
digits.  Either way, it will be enough to make all the numbers mapped to 
your pri unique.  Contact your PRI provider if you don't know how many 
digits they are sending.  Then you just match those by extension...

exten => 3714,1,<do whatever you plan to do when 3714 is called>

[outboud-us-ld]

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,SetCallerID("My Company Name"
<7321113714>)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})

Read the your sample zapata.conf file.  Use a dialing group (for example: 
group=1), then dial like above.
