Hi I was asked by our development departement to setup asterisk in a manner that if someone calls an extension in the department that was was only configured, but a handset was never attached to it to fall back to a default extension. For example: Someone calls extension 2408, but there's no phone attached to 2408 it should fall back and ring at 2400.. How do I setup asterisk to find out if there's a phone attached to an internal number if not ring another extension? TIA Paolo
Paolo You can use exten -> i This will catch any invalid extensions that are sent into a context. You could than route the flow as you see fit.

Assuming 2400 is you operator then set the var and drop to the operator. Verify your options to you dial syntax and any std-exten setups.

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] fallback to default extension
Hi
I've pretty much have it setup properly with the following:
exten => _24XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},30)
exten => _24XX,n,GotoIf($${DIALSTATUS}"="CHANUNAVAIL?noconn:conn)
exten =>
_24XX,n(noconn),GotoIf($["${EXTEN}"="2400"?conn:force)
exten => _24XX,n(force),Dial(SIP/2400)
exten => _24XX,n(conn),hangup()
The only problem is that if 2400 rejects the call asterisk tries to
call extension 2400 again...
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
TIA
Paolo

Minor Correction
Hi
I've pretty much have it setup properly with the following:
exten => _24XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},30)
exten => _24XX,n,GotoIf($${DIALSTATUS}"="CHANUNAVAIL?noconn:conn)
exten =>
_24XX,n(noconn),GotoIf($["${EXTEN}"="2400"]?conn:force)
exten => _24XX,n(force),Dial(SIP/2400)
exten => _24XX,n(conn),hangup()
The only problem is that if 2400 rejects the call asterisk tries to
call extension 2400 again...
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
