[asterisk-users] i extension not triggering

[Danny Nicholas]

BOP! You don't need no stinkin "I" in this case!  Just put this in front of
the Dial()
Exten => 444,2,Gotoif("${DOCK_RECIPIENTS}" != "444"]?i,1)

This catches anything they dial that isn't the magic 444.

The 'i' extension is not used when entering a context. You can only enter a
context (with Dial(), Goto(), etc), at an extension that exists. If it
doesn't exist, the context cannot be entered.

The 'i' extension is only used when already in a context, and is mainly for
catching unmatched extensions dialled within a Background or WaitExten.

See http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+i+extension for further
details.

There has also been discussion about this in the mailing list over the
years.

Cheers
