[Asterisk-Users] snatching calls

[Shoval Tom]

It works with SIP and with zap channels.
What about IAX? like DIAX softphone?

I may be misunderstanding something.

When you start an Asterisk configuration process, connecting your hardware
and building your dialplan, you use Zapata.conf, sip.con and iax.conf to
"connect" the FXSs and FXOs to your Asterisk, as you would connect your
normal lines and extensions to a regular PBX.

The extensions.conf is used not only to devise the Dial plan, but also to
assign extension numbers to all the extensions connected (be it sip, iax,
zap, or whatever).

Now I get to the groups. Call groups. Pickup groups, whatever groups.

Isn't it logical that it would be done in extensions.conf? or in an other
single location, and not throughout several files that you have to recheck
every time you want to change anything?

As per what Steve says, the same applies for SIP, check
/usr/src/asterisk/configs/sip.conf.sample
