[asterisk-users] Getting 'i' functionality on internal extensions

[Anthony Cennami]

The "i" extension is used for IVR/Auto Attendant type messages.  If you want
to use this for traditional outward dial from internal extensions you should
include some sort of bogon context (to avoid sort order conflicts with the
dialplan, otherwise you would match all extensions)

You will note in your example that you are using the Background application,
which is what the in-context 'i' extension is intended for.

You would want something like this for internal dialing (obviously taking
into consideration any other contexts, the 'bogon' context should be the
last include in any outbound dialing context.

[internal]
include => bogons
exten => 611,1,Answer()
exten => 611,2,Playback(hello-world)
exten => 611,3,Hangup()

[bogons]
exten => _X.,1,Answer()
exten => _X.,2,Playback(pbx-invalid)
exten => _X.,3,Hangup ; [or repoint them to some kind of internal AA/IVR]
