Woops, noticed that the channels in my example are channel =>
1. You'll need to change that so it jibes with your ZAPTEL.CONF
file...<br>

<p><span lang="EN-US">I've assumed that you have 4 FXO modules (to support 4 external phone lines) and 4 FXS modules (to support 4 local extensions).<br>
</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Essentially you'll need
to define "group"s in your ZAPATA.CONF file. I've provided an
example below (it also includes call groups and pick up groups - I've
set it so that any group can pick up a call ringing for someone else)<br>
</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">You'll also need contexts in </span><span lang="EN-US">EXTENSIONS.CONF</span><span lang="EN-US">
to control how your users dial. The entries in ZAPATA.CONF for
the (FXS) extensions will invoke the appropriate context in
EXTENSIONS.CONF so that the appropriate trunks are used. Check
out the "Dialling a Group" section of <a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+Zap+channels" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+Zap+channels
</a> for information on the various ways you can have Asterisk select a trunk from a group. I've used r below -
</span> a round-robin search, starting at the next highest channel than last time (aka. ascending rotary hunt group).</p>
