[asterisk-users] Dial an extension to modify dialplan

Take a look at https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Device+State
Specifically, Custom Device states.

You write both versions of the dialplan, and use an IF on the custom device state to determine which one runs.
You can then dial 4000 to turn the Custom Device from Busy to Available to set which section of the dialplan to run.
