[Asterisk-Users] Re: using built-in extension numbers on the ZAP channel

[LJ]

Samudra,

I had a similar problem where I could not use any of the built-in extensions 
or access codes (*0 or *78, etc).  It turned out that I had placed in my 
extensions.conf, an "include" at the end of my main context to catch 
anything that was not a direct match and play the invalid extension 
recording.  The first example is what caused the problem the second example 
is what I did to fix the problem.  After fixing this I am able to dial *0 
and flash the Zap channel.

Thoroughly step through you extensions.conf and you might locate a similar 
problem. Good luck.

1st example (causing my problem):

[nomatch]        ; last include in the extensions.conf

; If no matching ext exists play invalid message and disconnect.

exten => _.,1,Playback(invalid)     ;play no match announcement
exten => _.,2,Hangup                   ;disconnect caller

2nd example (this fixed my problem):

[nomatch]        ; last include in the extensions.conf

; If no matching ext exists play invalid message and disconnect.

exten => _X.,1,Playback(invalid)     ;play no match announcement
exten => _X.,2,Hangup                   ;disconnect caller
