[asterisk-users] dialing from asterisk console?

[Danny Dias]

Hello friends,

I'm trying to make a simple call from asterisk CLI, but is quite confuse

i followed the information here:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+CLI+dial

and changed my extensions.conf like this:

alsa.conf
[general]
autoanswer=no
context=consolecontext
extension=100

By the way, how do i know if my console is using the channel driver ALSA or
OSS?

then, in extensions.conf:

[consolecontext]
exten => 100,1,Dial($DEMO)

And then, from the Asterisk CLI: many attempts:

CLI> dial
No such extension 's' in context 'default'

CLI> dial 100
No such extension '100' in context 'default'

What am i doing wrong?
