[Asterisk-Users] Same Extensions in Multiple contexts

Hi

 

For a customer, I am trying to setup 3 different companies on one asterisk
box, and I need to assign extension 200 in three different companies. I was
using different contexts, but was unable to get it to work. So, my basic
question is - 

 

In Asterisk, Can we have same extension number in different contexts? 

 

For example:

 

[Context_company_1]

exten => 200,1,,,

 

 

[context_company_2]

Exten =>200,1,..

 

[context_company_3]

Exten =>200,1,..

 

 

Thanks

This is certainly possible and in fact quite common. The actual
extension that gets used just depends on which context you drop the
incoming / outgoing call into.

Maybe if you give us some more specifics / config examples we can help
you out more.

Sure you can.  You'll need to limit callers abilities based on which
company they work for.  You could do this by including the contexts of
the companies.

For instance, lets say you have a phone in sip.conf defined.  The
context=basic-comp1

[basic-comp1]
include => voicemail
include => context_company_1

This will only allow the caller to match to extension 200 in company 1
and access to voicemail.

More information about extensions.conf can be found at
http://www.voip-info.org (the wiki), http://www.asteriskdocs.org
(chapter 5) and http://www.google.com.

HTH,

[Asterisk-Users] RE: Same Extensions in Multiple contexts

I was able to get this to work.  Not sure if it is the best way or the only
way, but this is how I did it.  Including contexts do not give you the
desired result.  You must keep the contexts separate and use the goto to get
it to work.

Use the internal context in sip.conf.  If you don't people calling into the
system will be allowed to dial an out bound line as if it were an extension.

You also must take care with voicemail. Notice the @context, if the @ symbol
is missing it will match any context with that extension.  You will get very
unpredictable results.

Call Parking does not appear to work.  It does not support contexts.
 

Extensions.conf
----------------

[incoming-calls]
exten => _2125551212,1,Goto,companya|${EXTEN}|1
exten => _2025551212,1,Goto,companyb|${EXTEN}|1


[companya]
exten => _2125551212,1,Macro(auto-attendant)

exten => _202,1,Dial(device)
exten => _203,1,Dial(device)

exten => _8500,1,VoicemailMain(@companya)

[companya-internal]
include => companya
include => outgoing

[companyb]
exten => _2025551212,1,Macro(auto-attendant)

exten => _202,1,Dial(device)
exten => _203,1,Dial(device)

exten => _8500,1,VoicemailMain(@companyb) 

[companyb-internal]
include => companyb
include => outgoing

[Asterisk-Users] RE: Same Extensions in Multiple contexts

Revisiting this:
 
I was able to get this to work as well, but voicemail doesn't work as
intended. A user in companya-internal cannot get his voicemail when in
the office. It gives login incorrect. However if the user dials in from
outside through a zap channel the vm login works.
 
Any ideas?
