[asterisk-users] Call File Channel

[Danny Nicholas]

Your'e wanting control of the call from a call file.  The way to do that is
to call using a context instead of a Technology/number.  

When you call SIP/trunk_1, you are using the default context and therefore
don't have any "fallthrough" options unless you wrote them into your default
context.  If your default context allows dynamic handling on fallthrough,
you would probably still want to call number 1 using a context.  I used
SIP/170 as an example; you could use SIP/trunk1/#1 just as easily.

Context: is what the call is dumped into after it is answered, at extension
Extension:. I don't think it's related to how the call is placed.

 

I can dial the local extension SIP/170 but I'm not sure where that gets me.

 

Basically I want to have the same failover that I have for all other
outgoing calls on these automatic calls.

 

Thanks

Dave

Ok.  Here's how you would do that:

 

Channel: SIP/170 (some local extension)

CallerID: SIP/104 (another local extension)

MaxRetries: 1

WaitTime: 60

retryTime: 5

Context: your_context

Extension: s

 

This should create an extension call using your context.  The context can
then dial out as you write it.

Thanks Danny,

 

I do have a dial cmd with multiple arguments in my normal outgoing context.
I guess my question really is:

 

How do I tell the call file using "Channel: XXX" to use my outgoing context
instead of Zap/g1/xx or sip/trunk_x/xx directly?

I know I'm missing something here (been a long day).

 

How can I specify more than one channel in a call file?

 

I want to dial SIP/trunk_x and fail to SIP/trunk_y and fail to ZAP/g1.

 

Thanks

Dave
