Subject: [asterisk-users] dialing from asterisk console?

 

Hello friends,

 

I'm trying to make a simple call from asterisk CLI, but is quite confuse

 

i followed the information here: 

 

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+CLI+dial

 

and changed my extensions.conf like this:

 

alsa.conf

[general] 
autoanswer=no 
context=consolecontext 
extension=100 

 

By the way, how do i know if my console is using the channel driver ALSA or
OSS?

 

then, in extensions.conf:

 

[consolecontext] 
exten => 100,1,Dial($DEMO)

 

And then, from the Asterisk CLI: many attempts:

 

CLI> dial

No such extension 's' in context 'default'

 

CLI> dial 100

No such extension '100' in context 'default'

 

What am i doing wrong?

 

 

Dial from CLI works differently from regular Dial in the Dialplan.  From
what I can see, you are limited (1.4.30) to dialing extensions defined in
the [default] context .  Do "dialplan show default" and you'll see what you
can dial.
