Actually, 'context=' in sip.conf is the first place Asterisk looks for when a number is dialled from the phone. It then uses 'includes' to check for other options.
Usually, people use 'incoming' for their external lines, and something else for the sip phones. I have used 'sip_phones' before. regards, PaulH On Wed, 2007-02-21 at 16:11 -0600, Larry Alkoff wrote: > Benny Amorsen wrote: > >>>>>> "LA" == Larry Alkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > LA> I have a sip.conf with stanzas for sip phones that have > > LA> 'context=sip-incoming for some Grandstream phones and another > > LA> stanza for a Sipura SPA3000 with context=pstn-incoming. > > > > LA> Reviewing the code today, I was dismayed to see that all my > > LA> outgoing extens were mixed into those two.
