[Asterisk-Users] Newbie question - sip.conf incoming contexts

[Steve Gladden]

Hello!


I've been struggling with the documentation for months on this simple
subject...
I still have not been able to get this concept down...


I have 3 sip accounts (PSTN DID's) that come into my asterisk box
and give me phone service from my itsp via SIP.
I for the life of me have not been able to figure out how to get them to
come in to 3 seperate contexts!

This must be simple but I am missing the point.
All 3 accounts need a register line (I think) in order to work.

The register lines work great but I have not been able to figure out
how to get the other two lines to come into another seperate inbound
context that I have defined other than the one that is specified
in the [general] section of sip.conf

The /extension number does not do the trick for me

I wuld like for these incoming lines (from the same itsp) to truly
land in one of 3 seperate starting contexts in my dialplan based
on what phone number (account) they are.

Thank you very much for your help... this must be simple
but I have not really figured it out in several months of playing
around and reading....

I've figured out a TON of other complex things, but this simple
incoming context thing has me a bit stumped.

I've tried a few things in my sip peer like
register=yes which was suggested on a web site but it does not work.

I also tried maing the peer name match the account (phone number)
of the sip account and that did not do it either.

The peers work fine as outgoing but I've not figured out how to make them
work for incoming as my sip itsp requires that I 'register' for inbound
calls.
