Hi list. <BR>
<BR>
We have a problem when dialing over IAX to another Asterisk server: we've setup an extension named 'f19dffb971b93746d73ec46d5f1d4b36c199f48c-g1' in a specific context (its large because it needs to be unique). I've read in past discussions on asterisk-dev list that the extension length is limited to 79 characters - which I though should be more then enough.<BR>
<BR>
Now were doing a DUNDi lookup on that extension and dialing to it from a second Asterisk server. The dial address looks like this:<BR>
IAX2/dundi-context:9Tb3JNDnAH6JiQd3ZMo9Fw==@192.118.54.134/f19dffb971b93746d73ec46d5f1d4b36c199f48c-g1<BR>
<BR>
The problem is that on the local server, we try to read ${EXTEN} and parse it (specifically - I want to get at the 'g1' at the end. for this I use the CUT function):<BR>
[mydundictx]<BR>
exten => _[0-9a-fA-f_].,1,Set(lastpart=${CUT(EXTEN,,2)})<BR>
exten => _[0-9a-fA-f_].,2,Set(firstpart=${CUT(EXTEN,,1)})<BR>
<BR>
and then we get this (in the console):<BR>
<BR>
-- Accepting AUTHENTICATED call from 192.118.54.135: [...]<BR>
-- Executing [f19dffb971b93746d@mydundictx:2] Set("IAX2/192.118.54.135:4569-1", "lastpart=") in new stack<BR>
-- Executing [f19dffb971b93746d@mydundictx:3] Set("IAX2/192.118.54.135:4569-1", "firstpart=f19dffb971b93746d") in new stack<BR>
<BR>
I understand that Asterisk truncates the extension in the display (in this case - to 17 characters), but I was under the impression that this is for display only. Apparently this is not the case - the as evidently at least CUT sees only the first 17 characters ?!?<BR>
<BR>
Then we changed the setup to dial from server to server using SIP instead of IAX2 - using this method, the entire extension is passed correctly. Any idea whats going on here ?<BR>
<BR>
We're using Asterisk 1.4.0.<BR>
