[asterisk-users] How to Dial a number with Sangoma PRI card?

[Tristan]

You should try :

exten => _XXXX,n,ChanIsAvail(Zap/XY)
exten => _XXXX,n,NoOp(AvailChannel=${AVAILCHAN})
exten => _XXXX,n,Set(__DialChannel=${CUT(AVAILCHAN,,1)})
exten => _XXXX,n,Dial(${DialChannel}/YOURNUMTODIAL)


Where X stands for the strategy to fill your PRI ( r,R,g,G,.. ) and Y 
stands for the trunk group to use.

${AVAILCHAN} will contain the name of the next available channel, for 
example Zap/32-1.

You cut the "-1" with CUT then you can use it in dial app...

Tristan Mahé
