[Asterisk-Users] Can Asterisk ring a specific extension based on the number the outside caller dialed?
I am thinking of having a pots line with multiple numbers on it, and having Asterisk dial my desk if the outside caller dials xxx-xxx-xxx1, and ring another desk if the person called xxx-xxx-xxx2, etc. Can Asterisk do this? -- Jeff Ramsey MIS Administrator Tubafor Mill, Inc.

There is some basic support for Distinctive Ring, see the Zap config file. -- Eric Wieling * BTEL Consulting * 504-210-3699 x2120

How about with a voice T1 line? Would this work better with that line than with POTS?

If I have six channels of a T1 dedicated to Voice, and have 24 phone numbers in a hunt group so that any of the 24 numbers will ring the next available of the six T1 channels, can Asterisk ring a certain extension when a certain number was dialed? For instance, can I dial xxx-xxx-xxx1 and get extension 1, and then dial xxx-xxx-xxx2 and get extension 2? Direct Dialing is what I am trying to accomplish. But still having an IP phone system with auto answer on nights, voicemail, and all of the other features that Asterisk brings to the table. -- Jeff Ramsey MIS Administrator Tubafor Mill, Inc.
