Hi, all. We've got a PoS legacy PBX at my company that doesn't have call accounting. I figured, "Hey, why not stick a dual-span T1 Asterisk-based system in the middle?" Then, I just passively pass in-bound calls to the PBX, and outbound calls to the PSTN. I can then have Asterisk do all the call accounting, and everything should Just Work. Right?
Well, not so much. My outbound dialing rule was incredibly complex: exten => _X.,1,Dial(${PASSTHROUGHTRUNK}/${EXTEN}) And everything seemed to be working ducky, until I went to call Germany and got -- a local cell phone number. Needless to say, this puzzled me greatly. A quick look at my log, though, showed that all calls dialed with "011" were being submitted from the PBX to the Asterisk box without the "011". (Ironically, if I dial the number with "011011" in front, it goes through fine.) So I'm confused: any ideas on how this worked when the PBX was hooked straight to the PSTN? Is there some SS7 signal or something that says, "This is an international call", when the number has no 011 preface? I'd hate to have to revert, but I will if need be... *sigh* Thanks for any insights. I'm totally flummoxed. -Ken _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
