[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk newbie questions

[Wiley E. Siler]

Asterisk is very configurable and should be able to do what you want
just fine.

You would just need a dial plan that was configured properly and a VoIP
provider for your LD.

Extensions.conf is what you want to research on the wiki.  
http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+extensions.conf 
http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+dial+plan+-+working+example

You would do something like this...  Create a trunk for the PSTN and a
trunk for the IAX
Create a section of your dial plan that matches local numbers...

[trunklocal] 
; 
; Local seven-digit dialing accessed through trunk interface 
;
exten => _9XXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})
exten => _9XXXXXXX,2,Congestion
 
exten => _9480NXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})
exten => _9480NXXXXXX,2,Congestion

Create a section that matches you long distance.  Mine is PSTN so it
looks like this...

[trunkld] 
; 
; Long distance context accessed through trunk 
; 
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}}) 
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Congestion 

Yours would use the IAX methods (to replace my standard PSTN reference)
shown in the second link I listed above...

Reference these as includes for your incoming contaxt and your dialing
will work as you requested.

More info can also be found by searching using google and
site:lists.digium.com in the search box.

Cheers,
Wiley

Hi List,

I am trying to setup a box which does the following:

- Let incoming calls and outgoing local calls through PSTN.
- Let outgoing long distance calls through VoIP.

Has anybody done anything similar?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
