I want to create a CGI that will allow me to make a call when a user
clicks on a URL in a webpage. I believe I need to create a file in
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing that defines the number I want to call and
the phone I want to connect it to but I see no way to define the phone
number I want to dial in the /usr/src/asterisk/sample.call file I see
mentioned in other posts. Is it possible to do what I want? Am I even
looking in the right direction?

Hello! To create a call to 14109850123 on an analog channel in group 2 and then connect it to the hypothetical extension 84 (which would map to 84,1,Dial(SIP/84) ) inside your network, here's the file you'd create in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing.call:


#
# Create the call on group 2 dial lines and set up
#  some re-try timers
#
Channel: Zap/g2/14109850123
MaxRetries: 2
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 30
#
# Assuming that your local extensions are kept in the
#  context called [extensions]
#
Context: extensions
Extension: 84
Priority: 1


I would strongly suggest that you create this file elsewhere, and copy it in after you're done creating it. Asterisk is very aggressive in grabbing these files, and if you're still creating it when it grabs the file, you'll get errors, so best to create first and then copy in to the outgoing directory all at once.

From your example you would dial the outbound line and once connected dial the internal extension.. does this not mean that the external person would hear the phone rining when it was answered??

I do mine the other way around..

Channel: SIP/84
WaitTime: 30
Context: {the context that has your outbound dial string}
Extension: 914109850123 ;9 added to number as if call was being placed from a phone
Priority: 1


This way the internal extension is dialed first and when answerd the external number is dialed..

Later..
