Bsumrall, Take a look on this document, http://bef.eventphone.de/a/Ast.%20C.%20I._files/ast-ci-draft1.pdf /Mats On 6/1/07, C F [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can give the following example, let me know if it helps. Mr 1 has a child Mr 10 and another child Mr 11, now Mr 10 has Mr 100 and Mr 11 has Mr 111. Mr 10 adopts Mr 111. Also Mr 88 adopts Mr 10. Which brings us to the family tree, if you are a child of one, you are a grandchild of that ones parent, and as such included in that tree. Now one of the children could be adopted by some other parent as well, which makes that child a child of another parent hence a grandchild of that parents parent. Subistute child and adopt for include =, and Mr for context so you got: [1] include = 10 include = 11 [10] include = 100 include = 111 [11] include = 111 [88] include = 10 Within each context you got the instruction code, which is an extension (exten) prioritized with numbers (or n for next number). The instructions are executed one after the other, unless a jump is encountered. Each extension is a pointer within that context that starts the instruction set. In Asterisk one starts in a context, when an extension is called (by dialing, or s when the extension number wasn't given) Asterisk looks for that extension in that context, if it can't find it there it searches in that contexts family tree, if still no match it searches in default context, if still no match it searches for the i extension in the same order, if still no match then 404 is given. Hope this helps.

RE: [asterisk-users] Context documentation for the newbie!
First off, I wanted to thank you for referring me to the O'Reily pdf. It has already helped a lot and now I know exactly where I am going wrong, but still do not have an answer! Almost every example on voip-info.org and O'Reily assume you are using an FXO or FXS card. I am 100% internet based. It hit me like a rock that I need to understand why this affects the channels differently. O'Reily states: [incoming] exten = s,1,Answer( ) exten = s,2,Playback(hello-world) exten = s,3,Hangup( ) If you have a channel or two configured, go ahead and try it out! Simply make a new extensions.conf file with this short dialplan. (If it doesn't work, check the Asterisk console for error messages, and make sure your channels are configured to send inbound calls to the [incoming] context.) Go figure! I am 100% SIP based and zero IAX and I am assuming this effects how asterisk looks a Zapata.conf? So, this would lead to the logical conclusion that if I do not configure incoming in Zapata, I configure it on the teliax authentication portion of sip.conf! It still didn't work. I can see my phone number coming in on the CLI, but zero transition into the basic commands of extentions.conf Teliax got the thing to work before. They simply stripped out everything and put in what appeared to be the exact example on their web site. I was playing around with extensions.conf only and now it doesn't work at all and the conceptual theory doesn't seem to apply when dealing with 100% only SIP vs. FXx So, can anyone point me into the right direction on documentation on understanding the differences of SIP vs. FXx? _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mats Karlsson Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 5:35 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Context documentation for the newbie! http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=11 On 5/31/07, BSumrall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know where there is better documentation on understanding context relations and priorities with examples? http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+Dialplan+Introduction Does tell me anything other than they point to each other.

Got it basically working, but still need answers as to why SIP is so much different from FXx _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of BSumrall Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 7:36 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Context documentation for the newbie!

Re: [asterisk-users] Context documentation for the newbie!
Almost every example on voip-info.org and O'Reily assume you are using an FXO or FXS card. I am 100% internet based. This 4 year old article will go a long way in explaing the basics, with examples. John Todd also has had his own heavily commented extensions and other config files online all that time. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/07/03/asterisk.html ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Almost every example on voip-info.org and O'Reily assume you are using an FXO or FXS card. Yes, we wrote the first edition of the O'Reilly book when the easiest way to get up and running with Asterisk was to use analog phones. It's amazing how quickly thta's changed. The second edition of the book will be out shortly, and has a lot more information on how to setup SIP and IAX devices to talk to Asterisk. -Jared ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
