[Asterisk-Users] RE: Bellster enum

[Ed Guy]

Duane,

The Bellster ENUM is intended to allow calling nodes to determine if
a route is available before sending the call to Bellster.  For example,
if I am calling Rwanda, I'd do an ENUM dip and if present,  send
the call via Bellster, if not, I'll go via the PSTN.

Bellster's ENUM server only directs traffic to Bellster, it does not
bypass Bellster.

White-boarding the code, adapting your examples,
I'd expect it to look something like this:

[internal]
exten => _394N.,1,Macro(bellster-enum-call,callToPstn,1${EXTEN:3})
...

[macro-bellster-enum-call]
exten => s,1,SetCallerID(16045551212)
exten => s,2,EnumLookup(${ARG2})

	;case tel : //don't use Bellster
exten => s,53,Goto(${ARG1},${ARG2},1)

	;case bad : //don't use Bellster
exten => s,103,Goto(${ARG1},${ARG2},1)

	;case good: //${ENUM} is set, use Bellster
exten => s,3,Dial(${ENUM})
; or exten => s,3,Dial( IAX2/${BELLSTERNUMBER}@bellster/${ARG3},60,r)
exten => s,4,Goto(${ARG1},${ARG2},1)

	;dial failed
exten => s,104,Goto(${ARG1},${ARG2},1)



[callToPstn]
; fire up the ZAP line
...

Umm there kind of is a working enum client side, it even does ownership
checking on numbers before accepting them... :) http://www.e164.org

What is the thinking behind enum for bellster though, since you need to
offer credits before you can use it to make calls isn't this slightly
self defeating, or at worst bypassing the limits people have set?

Also we are currently looking for VoIP URLs from people that handle
large numbers of numbers, we have an API to handle injecting, updating
and removing these and are happy to customise it if people already use a
similar system and would prefer not to need modifying their end.
