[Asterisk-Users] Legacy PBX integration

[Remco Barende]

Thanks!  The PBX is a Alcatel Novo Supreme. All calls go straight into the 
auto attendant no matter whoch extension I dial on the Zap group the PBX 
is connected to.  I tried dialling in by hand using several combinations 
but I always get the auto attendant.

How do you transfer the call straight to the extension the fax is on? I 
guess using a Dial command fro *?

I suspect that the PBX is missing some signalling.

Thanks!
