Hi, I am facing issue while generating a dial plan for the following case: all caller should be asked a code to enter than All the callers should be connected one extension. also tell me testing scenario : I have pbx setup and currently I have soft phones to use as extension. Currently I have created a dial plan using vdp I tried submitting it here but I don't know how to extract text version for the same . I have deployed that dial plan to my local system and when I dial any extension call just gets ended. At the end I should be able to dial a no from a soft phone and it should ask me a code then I should be connected to an fixed extension. please also mention how to deploy sound file to system using web interface.

Neat little application, but I doubt you'll find many if any here using it. I also don't agree with their statement: "Why should I use Visual Dialplan? Simply because this is the easiest and fastest way to create Asterisk dialplan. You do not need to have Asterisk dialplan development experience to create large and complex dialplans. Simply drag, drop and connect components to create the dialplan" If you don't have dial plan experience, then when things aren't working, you'll be completely lost. Hence as you are now. I'd suggest you visit http://asteriskdocs.org http://www.voip-info.org And learn how to code a basic dial plan. You'll find many here willing to help you at that point.

Have you tried some of the examples? This "visual dial plan" stuff is leading down a path where you will never understand how a dial plan "really works" and you will not learn how to help yourself -- which you will need to do since nobody on this list seems to know anything about vdp. I'm still trying to understand what you are trying to accomplish. It sounds like you want to allow callers to join a conference after entering a PIN. If so, search the book for examples on using the meetme() application. Google will also prove to be a valuable resource. It also sounds like you haven't mastered even calling from one extension to another. Learn to walk before you try to run.> please also mention how to deploy sound file to system using web > interface.Doesn't your vdp stuff automagically do this for you? Skip looking for some magic visual or web based tools and learn to use the Unix command line -- it's really not all that difficult. If you don't want to invest the time to learn to use the proper tools, please hire someone to do it for you. Do you repair your own [kitchen appliances|plumbing|car|computer]? You can learn any of these skills or you can hire somebody to do it for you. Do you have the basic Unix skills to use cp (from a USB stick), scp, or ftp? Try this approach: 1) Learn enough Unix to log in and edit the Asterisk configuration files using an editor like emacs, vi, or joe. 2) Create a simple dial plan so you can dial a number and play a file like "demo-congrats." 3) Add to your dialplan so you can dial another number and dial another phone. 4) Add to your dialplan so you can dial a number and execute the meetme() application. At each step, observe the console output from Asterisk so you will learn what a normal call looks like and you will see useful messages that will clue you in when something doesn't work as expected. Everybody on this list is interested in helping you succeed with Asterisk, but only if you are willing to invest the effort. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwards at sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000
Hi Jigar> I am facing issue while generating a dial plan for the following case: > all caller should be asked a code to enter than All the callers should beconnected one extension. Try DISA component, and then use MeetMe component if you want callers to go to conference or Dial component if you want them to go to extension.> I have created a dial plan using vdp I tried submitting it here but Idon't know how to extract text version for the same . Visual dialplan outputs standard extensions.conf code. You can get the code by selecting Local deploy option at preferences window or SSH to Asterisk server and check extensions.conf. I was coding dial plans in vi for some time and then switch to Visual Dialplan, much easier and faster, very useful tool.

I totally agree with Steve's wise advice. One should at least give himself a week learning asterisk fundamentals and related Linux basics before jumping into creating dialplans or setting up Telecom systems. Asterisk's official book's first few chapters cover all the basics which every asterisk user must to know. Otherwise seeking help here won't help because you won't be able to even understand the answers here.

Hi Jigar, I use visual dialplan too. Nice tool.

You may check these videos too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1j5OrgL1og http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kNYuqOrP3w I find it useful, although I use visual dial plan rather than hand coding the dial plan. Either way you need to understand at least basics of asterisk dial plan structure.
