[asterisk-users] UA - number assignment

[Paul Ianas]

Thank you.

Indeed, this is what I want to know. When somebody wants to make a call
(using a standard telephone, connected to a media gateway), he doesn't
know what user is in my Asterisk conf. He only knows that he wants to
call John, who has the number 102 for example. He dials 102 from his
phone and the call is routed to the corresponding user (this is
Asterisk's job).

When using a softphone, you can call "user John", without knowing what
number he has (and that's ok). But when using a standard (physical)
phone, one doesn't need to know what user is in the database (even if he
would know, the telephone must dial a number), he only needs to know
what telephone number does user John have. John is an example. In
Asterisk I could set the username to -let's say - "xxx_John_yz4230" or a
MAC address, etc.

I want to know only the way I can make an UA-number assignment.

I will try your solution and I will give you feedback.


Thank you!

I think I understood what you want:
1- You want when someone dials an extension, do a Lookup in a database
using FWDCIDNAME
2- Then Dial the number that corresponds to this FWDCIDNAME in database

is that?

If it is so, i would recomend you to use AstDB - Asterisk Berkeley DB
(version1) - automatically installed with your asterisk.

Example:

exten=>_X.,1,Set(NumberToDial=DB(myuserlist/${FWDCIDNAME})
exten=> _X.,2,Dial(SIP/${NumberToDial})
exten=> _X.,3,hangup

Take a look on this function and applications on your CLI> show function
DB

hope it helps.

Pls give me some feedback
