In the zapata.conf where you define your channels, you would also define them as part of a group. Then in your dial plan, when you execute the dial command, you would pass it the ZAP/group_name
This will tell the dial command to use the first available channel within the group you have defined. see: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Channels%20and%20Groups for more info. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David John Walsh Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 1:18 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] "Multiplexing" (or what ever the term is) FXOports into a "Trunk" Hi all, For an event we are doing, we have been donated several analogue PSTN lines and an 8 port FXO bridge. On the bridge, we have set up each of the ports to work on the SIP protocol, and have referenced them, line1, line2, line3 etc for their username / password. I have placed the config in sip.conf, and they all work fine, inbound and out - for testing anyway! How do I get asterisk, to treat these 8 lines as one 8 call limit trunk? From a users perspective, all he/she needs to dial is 9xxxxxxxx (where x's the number) to get any of the 8 outside lines? Sure I could "hardcode" somthing in each part of the extensions.conf, but if this trial is sucsessful, the number of lines may increase, and it would be nice to define the array once as it were. (I am aware that most of my troubles would go away if I used a more intelligent termination such as ISDN, but for several issues, its not possible) Thank you for your time on this matter.
