asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Group=????

Good Day list,

	I have worn out my google toolbar today looking for a way to
determine which group an incoming call belong to, but have not been very
fruitfull in my endeavors.

	I am trying to figure a way to determine which group the
incoming call that I just answered is part of so I can do some
branchinbg scripts in my dialplan.  I know I can control my dialplan
logic by creating separate context's for each channel type, however, I
have some things that would be easier if I could just determine which
group= setting the incoming call is on.

       Example Zapata.conf:
       
       context=from-pstn
       signalling=fxs_ks
       faxdetect=incoming
       usecallerid=yes
       echocancel=yes
       echocancelwhenbridged=no
       echotraining=800
       group=0
       channel=3
       
       
       context=from-pstn
       signalling=fxs_ks
       faxdetect=incoming
       usecallerid=yes
       echocancel=yes
       echocancelwhenbridged=no
       echotraining=800
       group=1
       channel=4


	I would like to know if there is a variable or method to have
set (For example $GROUP) such that

	Exten s,1,NoOp(${GROUP})

		Would display "0" if the call came in on channel 3 of my
card
		And would display "1" if the call came in on channel 4
of my card.


Thanks for your time in this issue.

Ron

I had a similar dilema just a day ago.

I wanted to know which number a user had dialed, when they entered my
system.  NOT their number, the number they dialed.

It appears that Asterisk can easily know the number that was dialed, but
does not record it into any variables, at least not reliably.

The trick is to setup a pattern that matches the inbound number.

If the number dialed is:  212-555-1212

Then a pattern of:

exten => 2125551212,1,Macro(housenum)

Will ID that the call came in on that number.

Then it is up to you to set a variable in the macro "housenum"
that will tell you later, that this call belongs to group 1.

I hope this helps...
