Replace 489125 with your extension in extensions.conf. I suppose
that's your FWD number... If that's also your extension, it is
alright.

I believe this shouldn't match a hostname... Because you'll probably
have a problem in extensions.conf... change it to FWD or whatever you
find more appropriate.

type in the CLI: sip show registry
...and see if it is registered.

_8.,2,Dial(SIP/{$EXTEN:1}@fwd,20,tr)

here is where assigning a real hostname in a sip.conf entry might give
you a headache...

You're welcome. But you made some basic mistakes. You should really
take a look at the asterisk wiki. That's very helpful, and even has a
working FWD example. The handbook 2nd edition draft is also a very
good start material.

Hope I could help...
