RE: [Asterisk-Users] making * more like a normal pbx (cisco ata-186)

I’ve done something similar at home, but made my dialplan such that I can dial either 10 or 11 digits locally. I don’t use a “throw away” digit at all. Any 7, 10, or 11 digit call will be appropriately mangled and sent out the PSTN / VoIP provider.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jay Milk Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 5:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] making * more like a normal pbx (cisco ata-186)   You're probably up the creek with the ATA186.  I had one of mine unlocked from Vonage, and I think it'll go on ebay and I'll upgrade to another Sipura instead.  I tested hotline functionality on sipura (pick-up phone and go right into context) successfully.  It's conceivable you could change the sipura's dial-plan to include a singular "9", which takes you into the incoming context, and then you could...   [incoming] 9,1,Dialtone 9,2,....   Of course, predialing (my phones let me dial a number on display, and once I pick up the receiver, they're dialed) would now become a problem, as establishing the connection may cause the first DTMF digit after the 9 to be missed by *, and you'd have to add a pause to all speed-dial (or pre-dial) numbers.  If you're setting up asterisk for home-use, consider using "1" as the indicator for outside lines and always dialing 11 digits.  That's what I have done, and it's oh-so-wife-friendly, plus I can always re-dial any incoming CID number without thinking about the area code, etc. -----Original Message-----  From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jacob Hunter Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 2:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] making * more like a normal pbx (cisco ata-186) got it.. so one more question, this is on a cisco ata-186, (SIP) so it probably wont work. I have gone through the entire "dialplan" portion of the manual and can't find any function to make it function in this way. I am running firmware 2.16. j hunter [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Jun 14, 2004, at 12:26 PM, Andrew Thompson wrote: Jacob Hunter wrote: once u press 9 is there a way to make it so it restores dial tone, like most pbx's do? so dial tone , 9, dialtone, then ur local num Google asterisk ignorepat ----- Andrew Thompson http://aktzero.com/ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
