asterisk users - Nov 2011 - Calling an independent gateway from asterisk

Hello,
I have a testing scenario at hand. I want to make a call from Asterisk
CLI or AMI to an external network gateway. Is this possible.
Let me explain the use case.

Asterisk server (say 192.168.5.10) has few registered endpoints or softphone.
Now an external gateway (say my-example.com or XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:5060),
listening for SIP invites, but this gateway is not registered with
Asterisk,

can I send out SIP invites (call) to this external gateway, without
having to register on Asterisk.

-- 

Thank you...

Hey,

Though your requirements are unclear and below may not exactly fit your
specs unless you give some more usage details.

if your gateway requires no authentication, yes you can do this by writing
a dialplan extension like below

exten => calling-togw,1,NOOP(I'll be getting some variables from AMI
caller)
same => n,DIAL(SIP/${CALLTHIS}@my-example.com)

Now, in the AMI script you need to do the following.

1- Connect to asterisk,
2- Set the variable CALLTHIS as the destination you want to dial-out
3- use the
Originate-AMI<http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Manager+API+Action+Originate>action
properly.

Regards,
Sammy

Amar,

In general, gateways don't register.  They are simply defined as a peer and
calls are routed to them in the dialplan.  When I do this I usually use the
local channel to get to the
dialing contexts.

Get in touch if you need a more detailed example
