We do extension by extension is our dialing plan because we have a wildcard at the end trapping all unused extensions and playing a "this extension is not in use" message and forwarding users into our IVR. It depends on individual circumstances which works better. We have 300 DIDs for our sip phones, and only 50 in use. Those 50 are also not sequential extensions. So it's less painful to approach this way for our circumstance. If you had all of your extensions in use, the wildcard would be easier and cleaner. Then if you needed to remove one, include a [not-in-service] context above the in use extensions.

Wouldn't: exten => _72X,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},50) Be ideal? Or at least an easier way to expand the dialplan without mucho administration? Just a question... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tarpo, Louie Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 6:06 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] newbiew extensions.conf question He means that exten => 720,1,macro(sipexten,${EXTEN}) is the template. You'd write out the rest of the config file like so exten => 720,1,macro(sipexten,${EXTEN}) exten => 721,1,macro(sipexten,${EXTEN}) exten => 722,1,macro(sipexten,${EXTEN}) and so forth. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jason Walker Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 6:22 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] newbiew extensions.conf question That would make all callers have to call 720 as there is not other extension defined. As a result, all calls would go to 720. ${EXTEN} would always be 720. I don't follow your logic. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jj Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 4:00 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] newbiew extensions.conf question Right track, but it can be simplified even more exten => 720,1,macro(sipexten,${EXTEN}) On Aug 4, 2005, at 5:25 PM, Tarpo, Louie wrote: > We handled it by creating a macro which dials the exten, then sends > the call to voicemail. > > You could create it where each extension is handled seperately > exten => 720,1,Macro(sipexten,720) > exten => 721,1,Macro(sipexten,720) > etc > > or you could handle them all in a group with wildcards > exten => _72x,1,Macro(sipexten,${EXTEN}) > > then the macro would look something like.... > [macro-sipexten] > exten => s,1,NoOp(${CallerIDNum}) > exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/${ARG1},24) > exten => s,3,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS}, 1) > > exten => s-NOANSWER,1,VoiceMail(u${ARG1}) ;Send to > voicemail, play unavailable message > exten => s-NOANSWER,2,Hangup > > exten => s-BUSY,1,VoiceMail(b${ARG1}) ;Send to > voicemail, play busy message > exten => s-BUSY,2,Hangup > > exten => _s-.,1,Goto(s-NOANSWER,1) > > Depends on your needs which way would work better.
