[Asterisk-Users] Multiple gateways for same dial pattern

[Adi Linden]

Hi,

I just tried this using a couple of iax peers and it works quite well. But
I did have to alter my dialplan. In my iax.conf I added 'qualify=5000' for
the nufone and voipjet peers.

[macro-gw-voipjet]
;
; This is the VoipJet IAX peer
;
; Use: Macro(gw-voipjet,${EXTEN}))
; Requires 'qualify=' statement in iax.conf for fallthru to work
;
exten => s,1,SetCIDNum(${PSTN_CIDNUM})
exten => s,2,Dial,IAX2/username at voipjet/${ARG1}
exten => s,3,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => s-BUSY,1,Busy
exten => s-CHANUNAVAIL,1,Noop
exten => _s-.,1,Congestion

[macro-gw-nufone]
;
; This is the NuFone IAX peer
;
; Use: Macro(gw-nufone,${EXTEN}))
; Requires 'qualify=' statement in iax.conf for fallthru to work
;
exten => s,1,SetCIDNum(${PSTN_CIDNUM})
exten => s,2,Dial,IAX2/username at nufone/${ARG1}
exten => s,3,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => s-BUSY,1,Busy
exten => s-CHANUNAVAIL,1,Noop
exten => _s-.,1,Congestion

[outbound-longdistance]
;
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,Macro(gw-voipjet,${EXTEN:1}) ; VoipJet.com NANPA
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Macro(gw-nufone,${EXTEN:1})  ; NuFone NANPA
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,3,Congestion
;
exten => _9011.,1,Macro(gw-voipjet,${EXTEN:1})        ; VoipJet.com WORLD
exten => _9011.,2,Macro(gw-nufone,${EXTEN:1})         ; NuFone WORLD
exten => _9011.,3,Congestion

Thank you!
Adi
