I'll give you some pointers that might put you onto the right answer. For incoming calls, it should be pretty easy, in the extension configuration page, populate the "Add Inbound DID" field. At least, that's what it's called in Elastix, which should be pretty similar to your Trixbox. Also set the outbound CID field. For outgoing calls, it's a bit more complicated but you're not the first person to try it so there seems to be a package available. I've never run it, but have you looked at the Custom Contexts module? There's an article discussing it here: http://www.trixbox.org/forums/trixbox-forums/help/bind-trunk Another option might be to use CallerID matching syntax in your outbound route. I haven't tested this but you could experiment with creating an outbound route for each extension (let's use extension 200 as an example) that looks like: 9|./200 That might cause the route to be selected only for calls from extension 200. Like I said, I based it on having read the following blurb from voip-info.org. http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20config%20extensions.conf#Extensions ___________________________________________________ Other options for defining extensions include an option commonly referred to as the ex-girlfriend logic. This logic will match the dialed extension, whether it came from outside or inside, based on the callerid of the person calling it. For exmaple: exten => 123/100,1,Answer() exten => 123/100,2,Playback(tt-weasels) exten => 123/100,3,Voicemail(123) exten => 123/100,4,Hangup() This will match extension 123 and perform the following options ONLY if the Caller-ID Number of the calling user is 100. This can also be accomplished with pattern matching, as seen below: exten => 1234/_256NXXXXXX,1,Answer() and so on... This will only match for 1234 if the Caller ID Number is something beginning with 256. This is very useful to keep locals from dialing your toll-free number and charging you for the call. You can even do this: exten => s,1,Answer exten => s/9184238080,2,Set(CALLERID(name)=EVIL BASTARD) exten => s,2,Set(CALLERID(name)=Good Person) exten => s,3,Dial(SIP/goodperson) _____________________________________________________ One thing to keep in mind is that even though they talk about extensions, they're really just numbers being matched. When you configure the dial pattern on an outgoing route, the callerID is that of the user doing the dialing, and 'extension' is 10 digit (or whatever) number they dialed. I hope this sets you on the right track. Dave
