[Asterisk-Users] Extensions / Contexts

[Wiley Siler]

The short answer is No.

The method you describe is intrinsicly illogical.  
Assuming there is an IVR, how will I know which extension 2000 I am
calling if that were possible?
I might get company A instead of company B.

You can create two * servers with identical dial plans, link them over
IAX, and allow users to call each other if they use a rpefix lke 7.
Example:  Comp-A user 2000 calls comp-B user 2000 by dialing 72000.

Now if you want to use one server only, then just use 200x for one
company and 300x for the other and segment the dial plans.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Extensions / Contexts

Hi everybody,

I am writing here because I can't find the solution to my problem (my
asterisk configuration). I hope somebody can give me a hand with it:

I need to provide a PBX service to several companies (extensions with
softphones and Digium hardware to manage the analog lines), my problem
is that I don't know how to configure the contexts to have, for
instance, the following scenario:

Company A
ext 2000
ext 2001
ext 2002

Company B
ext 2000
ext 2001
ext 2002

Company A must not to see extensions of company B and viceversa.

I know this is possible with extensions, but I don't know how to
distinguish when (for example) a sip phone is connecting to the
extension 2000 from company A or company B.

It is possible to configure my sip.conf (or iax.conf) like this? If it
is, how do I need to configure the softphone? Does Asterisk realizes
which context to use depending on the username? Does asterisk allows two
extension sections with the same number?:

[2000]
username=companyA_2000
context=contextCompanyA

[2000]
username=companyB_2000
context=contextCompanyB

Any help will be appreciated.
Sebas
