Hi there. I've done some googling around to try and find an example<br>
of what I'm trying to do, but it's one of those things that just seems<br>
hard to find the right terms to search for. If there's some<br>
documentation out there on this, I'd appreciate being pointed in the<br>
right direction. If not, then if someone has some ideas I'd<br>
appreciate that too. :)<br>
<br>
<br>
What I'm trying to do is set up some 'special' extensions in my<br>
internal context to change variables, or change something else in the<br>
session before dialling. To be clearer, here's an example. Say I've<br>
got this rather simple dial plan:<br>
<br>
[globals]<br>
TRUNK1=Zap/1<br>
TRUNK2=Zap/2<br>
TRUNK=${TRUNK1}<br>
<br>
[internal]<br>
_NXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN})<br>
<br>
<br>
I'd like to add an extension which I can dial before placing the<br>
actual call to change which trunk I'm using, like so:<br>
<br>
*55,1,SetVar(TRUNK=${TRUNK2})<br>
<br>
The problem is that once that's done, asterisk stops looking for me to<br>
dial an extension, and I'm trying to figure out how to get back to the<br>
top of the context and have asterisk wait for a new extension to<br>
dial. I've dug through the Asterisk O'Reilly book, and googled around<br>
some, but haven't come up with the answer.<br>
<br>
Thoughts anyone?</blockquote><div><br>How about, something like one of these...<br><br>exten => _*55NXXXXXX,1,SetVar(TRUNK=${TRUNK2})<br>exten => _*55NXXXXXX,n,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:3}) </div><div> </div></div>or<br>
<br>exten => _*55NXXXXXX,1,SetVar(TRUNK=${TRUNK2})<br>
exten => _*55NXXXXXX,n,Goto(internal,${EXTEN:3},1) <br><br>or<br><br>exten => *55,1,SetVar(TRUNK=${TRUNK2})<br>exten => *55,n,DISA(no-password,internal)<br><br>or<br><br>exten => *55,1,SetVar(TRUNK=${TRUNK2})<br>
exten => *55,n,WaitExten(5)<br>
<br>or use your imagination :)<br><br>d<br>
