asterisk users - May 2008 - How to test dialplan w/o a trunk

I'm working my way through the Starfish book again trying to rid myself 
of the baggage ({sip, extensions, voicemail}.conf) I brought from 
another system and build the dialplan I really want.

I will be doing this on a test system without a trunk.  Just sitting on 
the LAN behind the firewall.

Can I, and if so how do I, set-up sip.conf to force my soft-phone to go 
to a specific context when I take it off-hook? (The [Dial/Answer] button 
in ZoIPer).  Or should I set up an extension that just goes to the context?

I guessing

	[613]
	...
	context=incoming
	...

should do it.

I don't have the system on the bench yet but would like to get the 
dialplan fairly close the first time.  :-)


TIA,
Rod

This can be done with a analog phone, but I don't believe you can do it 
on a sip channel.

That's the route I'd follow.

Yeah, that should work for sip.conf after filling in the blanks, then in 
extensions.conf you need an incoming context to do something like the 
echo test or whatever.
