[Asterisk-Users] Getting Asterisk to automatically dialout

[Scott Stingel]

You don't need the Dial command in extensions.conf for outbound calls.
Asterisk will do the dialout based on your .call file

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Getting Asterisk to automatically dialout

Hi,
I'm trying to get asterisk to auto-dail out.  I created a *.call file with
the the top of it being "Channel: Zap/1/2609944", which should have
connected to Zap channel 1 and dial out to 2609944, but It did not do so,
asterisk would say a call was completed to Zap/1/2609944 but I never heard
that phone ring.  So I tried just putting "Channel: Zap/1" at the top of the
call file so it would connect to Zap channel 1, then in the *.call file
connect it to an "outgoing" context in extensions.conf which looked like:
[outgoing]

exten => s,1,Wait(1)
exten => s,2,Dial(Zap/1/2609944)
exten => s,3,Wait(2)
exten => s,4,Playback(soundfile)
exten => s,5,Hangup

But when it ran this, asterisk told me it was unable to create a channel of
type "Zap", but then that a call was still completed to Zap/1.  I've read
everything about auto-dialout on voip-info.org and read digium faqs and
everything and have been unable to find a solution.  If someone out there
has had a similar problem and figured it out or knows what might be wrong
with what I'm trying to do it would be greatly appreciated if you could help
me out.  Thanks.
