asterisk users - Jun 2008 - How to append "#" to the number before sending to Zap

Hi,

I am using freepbx 2.8 and I am wanting to connect a TDM410P to an
Inmarsat M4 terminal.

All is working, except that I dont seem to have a way to append a "#"
to
every number that gets sent to the ZAP channel.

I dont want the "#" appended to any dialling of other extensions, just
when outward call routing sends the call to the ZAP trunk.

Note; this is appended to the end of the dial string, not as a prefix.

Thanks for anyone that can point me in the right direction.

Regards,
T

hello all,

im looking for a way to do the following:

when a SPECIFIC call comes through to asterisk through sip, i want it to b
directed to a pool of specific sip extensions (9 extensions) where asterisk
tries one after the other till lhe finds one of them thats actually on.i want to
add a step for asterisk to follow which is, when a sip extension doesn't
answer or its offline, instead of immediately transferring to voice mail, i want
it to dial that sip holder's number so it transfers the call to his
cellphone for example. and if he didn't answer his cellphone its then that i
want it to direct it to voice mail.i want to add another item to the operator
menu, instead of just receiving the call and telling the caller to either dial
extension or 100 for operator, i want asterisk to offer the caller an additional
option like for example pressing 2, would direct you to a list of key personnels
with their respective extensions.please find below my extensions.conf:


[sipura-line]
exten => 201,1,Answer() ; Answer inbound calls
exten => 201,2,Playback(silence/1)
exten => 201,3,Background(simzy1) ; input an extension
exten => 201,4,Wait(8)
include => spa
exten => 201,n,Hangup()

[spa]
exten =>_201,1,GoTo(sipura-line,${EXTEN},1)
exten => _1XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},15) ;each ring equals to 5 seconds, so it
will ring 3 times
exten => _1XX,2,VoiceMail(${EXTEN}@default)
exten => _1XX,3,HangUp()
exten => _2XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},15) ;each ring equals to 5 seconds, so it
will ring 3 times
exten => _2XX,2,VoiceMail(${EXTEN}@default)
exten => _2XX,3,HangUp()
exten =>_01,1,Dial(SIP/200)
exten => 203,1,VoicemailMain
exten => _2XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},15)

Have you tried something like Dial(${EXTEN}#,20)  ?

Or even Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN}#,20) ?
