;
; Static extension configuration file, used by
; the pbx_config module. This is where you configure all your 
; inbound and outbound calls in Asterisk. 
; 

;
; The "General" category is for certain variables.  
;
[general]
;
; If static is set to no, or omitted, then the pbx_config will rewrite
; this file when extensions are modified.  Remember that all comments
; made in the file will be lost when that happens. 
;
; XXX Not yet implemented XXX
;
static=yes
;
; if static=yes and writeprotect=no, you can save dialplan by
; CLI command 'save dialplan' too
;
writeprotect=no
;
; If autofallthrough is set, then if an extension runs out of
; things to do, it will terminate the call with BUSY, CONGESTION
; or HANGUP depending on Asterisk's best guess (strongly recommended).
;
; If autofallthrough is not set, then if an extension runs out of 
; things to do, asterisk will wait for a new extension to be dialed 
; (this is the original behavior of Asterisk 1.0 and earlier).
;
autofallthrough=yes

; You can include other config files, use the #include command (without the ';')
; Note that this is different from the "include" command that includes contexts within 
; other contexts. The #include command works in all asterisk configuration files.
;#include "filename.conf"

; The "Globals" category contains global variables that can be referenced
; in the dialplan with ${VARIABLE} or ${ENV(VARIABLE)} for Environmental variable
; ${${VARIABLE}} or ${text${VARIABLE}} or any hybrid
;
[globals]
CONSOLE=Console/dsp				; Console interface for demo
;CONSOLE=Zap/1
;CONSOLE=Phone/phone0
IAXINFO=guest					; IAXtel username/password
;IAXINFO=myuser:mypass
TRUNK=Zap/g2					; Trunk interface
TRUNKMSD=1					; MSD digits to strip (usually 1 or 0)
;TRUNK=IAX2/user:pass at provider

;
; Any category other than "General" and "Globals" represent 
; extension contexts, which are collections of extensions.  
;
; Extension names may be numbers, letters, or combinations
; thereof. If an extension name is prefixed by a '_'
; character, it is interpreted as a pattern rather than a
; literal.  In patterns, some characters have special meanings:
;
;   X - any digit from 0-9
;   Z - any digit from 1-9
;   N - any digit from 2-9
;   [1235-9] - any digit in the brackets (in this example, 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9)
;   . - wildcard, matches anything remaining (e.g. _9011. matches 
;	anything starting with 9011 excluding 9011 itself)
;
; For example the extension _NXXXXXX would match normal 7 digit dialings, 
; while _1NXXNXXXXXX would represent an area code plus phone number
; preceeded by a one.
;
; Each step of an extension is ordered by priority, which must
; always start with 1 to be considered a valid extension.  The priority
; "next" or "n" means the previous priority plus one, regardless of whether
; the previous priority was associated with the current extension or not.
; The priority "same" or "s" means the same as the previously specified
; priority, again regardless of whether the previous entry was for the
; same extension.  Priorities may be immediately followed by a plus sign
; and another integer to add that amount (most useful with 's' or 'n').  
; Priorities may then also have an alias, or label, in 
; parenthesis after their name which can be used in goto situations
;
; Contexts contain several lines, one for each step of each
; extension, which can take one of two forms as listed below,
; with the first form being preferred.  One may include another
; context in the current one as well, optionally with a
; date and time.  Included contexts are included in the order
; they are listed.
;
;[context]
;exten => someexten,priority[+offset][(alias)],application(arg1,arg2,...)
;exten => someexten,priority[+offset][(alias)],application,arg1|arg2...
;
; Timing list for includes is 
;
;   <time range>|<days of week>|<days of month>|<months>
;
;include => daytime|9:00-17:00|mon-fri|*|*
;
; ignorepat can be used to instruct drivers to not cancel dialtone upon
; receipt of a particular pattern.  The most commonly used example is
; of course '9' like this:
;
;ignorepat => 9
;
; so that dialtone remains even after dialing a 9.

; If regcontext is specified, Asterisk will dynamically 
; create and destroy a NoOp priority 1 extension for a given
; peer who registers or unregisters with us.  The actual extension
; is the 'regexten' parameter of the registering peer or its
; name if 'regexten' is not provided.  More than one regexten may be supplied
; if they are separated by '&'.  Patterns may be used in regexten.
;
;regcontext=sipregistrations
;
; Asterisk can register as a SIP user agent to a SIP proxy (provider)
; Format for the register statement is:
;       register => user[:secret[:authuser]]@host[:port][/extension]
;
; If no extension is given, the 's' extension is used. The extension
; needs to be defined in extensions.conf to be able to accept calls
; from this SIP proxy (provider)
;
; host is either a host name defined in DNS or the name of a 
; section defined below.
;
; Examples:
;
;register => 1234:password at mysipprovider.com	
;
;     This will pass incoming calls to the 's' extension
;
;
;register => 2345:password at sip_proxy/1234
;
;    Register 2345 at sip provider 'sip_proxy'.  Calls from this provider connect to local 
;    extension 1234 in extensions.conf default context, unless you define 
;    unless you configure a [sip_proxy] section below, and configure a context.
;	 Tip 1: Avoid assigning hostname to a sip.conf section like [provider.com]
;        Tip 2: Use separate type=peer and type=user sections for SIP providers
