[Asterisk-Users] Dial Plan Format Strings

2004-04-13 Thread Nik Martin
In the absence of The Definitive Guide to Asterisk Dial Plans book, I'd
like to do something possibly unique with the formatting of extensions in my
dial plan, and am having trouble.  We use VoicePulse connect, which gives us
local DID for inbound and outbound calls (even though DTMF tones are not
working in Voice Pulse Connect at the moment).  To dial local numbers, you
have to dial the entire number, like 1 + area code + number. I'd like to
eliminate this by having the user just dial 9 + 7 digit number, and have
asterisk put the 1 + area code (which is in a variable in extensions.conf)
in front of it prior to sending the request to Voice Pulse.  Is this
possible? 


Thanks,

Nik Martin

Ahh, the {EXTEN:1} must serve to skip the 1st character of the extension,
stripping the 9 off
That's what I needed, thanks!

Nik,
I use NuFone, but here's how I do it (my area code is 207):

exten = _9NXX,7,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1207${EXTEN:1})

Good luck,
Austin

Sure it's possible! Asterisk can do anything!

exten = _9XXX,1,Dial(Technology/123/1212${EXTEN:1})

See after the: Technology/123/ there is a 1212 you can make that
your 1 + area code

Then the: ${EXTEN:1} dumps in the number that was dialled and chops
off the first (1) digit, which is the 9.

I had exactly the same question.  There is some really useful documentation
on voip-info.org regarding the extensions.conf syntax.
