Don't get offended Doug, but I get really frustrated when I try to explain what
I am trying to do with Asterisk, and people don't seem to quite get it. Your
about the 4th person who's replied to this post, and hasn't quite grasped my
question. :) --- smiley.. see...we're all cool.
I don't want Asterisk to go on to ask for more digits. I want to do a very
simple thing. I want to set a variable when call flow continues beyond a
certain point (without asking the user for more digits), and then continue on,
and use that variable later. It's a very simple thing, I can't work out why
Asterisk doesn't let me do that.
Surely other people have hit the situation where they first check extensions
within a company, and then if there's no match, you glue all the other
companies dialplans together with this one. At that point, when one company
dials another, the caller id that's sent should be the company caller id, not
the caller id of the individual extension. It's a very common business
requirement... at least that's what my boss, who has spend many years
installing TDM pbx's tells me.
BTW - what is a numer?
A numer is a spelling mistake. I was going to change the title, but it would
have broken the thread.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Re: Match a Numer - then continue with,

I think you're making it far too difficult.
What I do is something like this:
[outgoing]
include = internal
include = longdistance
;Always include internal first, as matches from the first include
;will be used first. This allows you to make sure your internal
;extensions don't go out your trunks.
[longdistance]
ignorepat = 9;
include = default; already included from local, but putting here for
clarity
include = local;
exten = _91XXX,1,Macro(trunkout,${EXTEN}) ;Medium Distance
exten = _91XX,1,Macro(trunkout,${EXTEN}) ;Long Distance
Then, I have:
[macro-trunkout]
exten = s,1,Set(cname=${DB(showname/${CALLERIDNUM})});
exten = s,n,Set(cnum=${DB(shownum/${CALLERIDNUM})});
exten = s,n,GotoIf($[foo${cnum} = foo]?6); //if
calling from ZAP
channel that set caller ID already
exten = s,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${cname}|a);
exten = s,n,Set(CALLERID(number)=${cnum}|a);
exten = s,n,Dial(${TRUNK}/${ARG1:${TRUNKMSD}});
exten = s,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten = s-ANSWER,1,Hangup
exten = s-CONGESTION,1,Congestion(30)
exten = s-CONGESTION,2,Hangup
exten = s-CANCEL,1,Hangup
exten = s-BUSY,1,Busy(30)
exten = s-BUSY,2,Hangup
Why is this important? It's not. But it is fundamentally
different from
what you're asking. You want to match a partial extension dialed and
then continue appending digits. What you really need to do is
wait for
the whole number, then decide what kind of number it is, do the
processing, and send it on its way. It's just a slight change
in the way
you're thinking, because you understand that there's a class
of numbers
to treat differently. And that's OK. Just don't do anything with it
until the whole extension has been entered!
Uhm, No. I'm not trying to partially match extensions and then continue
appending digits. What makes you think that?
You'll notice that, anything not going through the trunkout macro
doesn't get tweaked, and anything that goes through there
will read from
the database. I could just as easily set a single value, but
I have some
users that I want to go out as themselves, and different departments
that have a general number, etc. I found the Asterisk
Database to be the
easiest to tweak, as I have some scripts to allow admins to
change the
effective CallerID on the fly.
David, this is completely different from what I am trying to do.
Let's try this a different way. Let's say you have two companies. When someone
calls a number in their own company, we use their INTERNAL caller id. When they
call someone in another company, we want to send their EXTERNAL caller id. How
would you do this?
Doug.
I hope this helps! Asterisk can do what you're asking, and it
does every
day.

See below: I don't want Asterisk to go on to ask for more digits. I want to do a very simple thing. I want to set a variable when call flow continues beyond a certain point (without asking the user for more digits), and then continue on, and use that variable later. It's a very simple thing, I can't work out why Asterisk doesn't let me do that. To almost all people call flow would mean executing one priority after another for a given extension. After reading and re-reading your posts trying to work out what you are trying to do, it seems to me that when *you* say call flow, you mean the act of trying to find an extension. And what your looking for is a way to do things a different points in the *search*, while it is still trying to decide on a statement to land on. Is that correct? Yes to the first sentence. Not quite sure what you mean after that. If so, I think you need to re-think the strategy a bit. The only way a command gets executed in a dialplan is when Asterisk has matched an extension and a priority. Then once it has executed that command, it increments the priority (unless it was a Goto or something) and starts searching again. That was my original question. I was asking if there was a way to set a variable and the continue, which doesn't seem like too strange a thing to have Asterisk support. However, don't forget that it searches for matching extensions every time the priority changes. You are not locked into a particular pattern or extension number from priority 1 onwards. You can mix and match patterns with literal extensions, even across includes, e.g. Don't follow you. When asterisk matches an extension, it starts interating through the priorities until there's none left, or you Goto() somewhere else. [example] include = ctx31X include = ctx3XX exten = _X.,1,NoOp(this gets executed first for everything) exten = _X.,2,NoOp(this gets executed second only if ctx31X or ctx3XX didnt match) exten = _X.,3,NoOp(this gets executed third for everything) You lost me here. [ctx31X] exten = _31X,2,NoOp(this gets executed second for 310-319) [ctx3XX] exten = _3XX,2,NoOp(this gets executed second for 300-309 and 320-399) So you might be able to do something along these lines by being creative with priorities and includes, and setting or testing variables. Something along these lines: 1. Each company starts off in its own context, and at Can't do that. The point at which a phone enters the dial plan needs to start with rather a long list of include= statements, to grant/deny access to certain features. priority 1 in _X. it sets a variable like SRCCOMPANY to something specific to it. It includes all the destination contexts. 2. Each destination context starts at priority 2 and sets a variable like DESTCOMPANY to something specific to that destination. 3. At priority 3 in each source context, SRCCOMPANY and DESTCOMPANY are compared, in order to decide whether to override the CallerID with the source company's generic callerID. Let's say this uses priorities 3, 4 and 5 (for the GotoIf doing the compare, then the SetCallerID, and the NoOp target for the GotoIf when the callerID doesn't need rewriting). The destination contexts do not have priorities 3, 4 and 5. 4. The destination contexts continue at priority 6 to route the call. I think by interleaving priorities between contxts like this you should be able to achieve what you are looking for. Please let us know on the list if you are successful - it encourages us to keep helping in the future! I tried your example, which I completely don't follow, and it didn't seem to execute as you expected. Dialling 311 yields: *CLI -- Executing NoOp(SIP/3254101-d10e, this gets executed first for everything) in new stack -- Executing NoOp(SIP/3254101-d10e, this gets executed second only if ctx31X or ctx3XX didnt match) in new stack -- Executing NoOp(SIP/3254101-d10e, this gets executed third for everything) in new stack I need to make extensive use of the include= directive, and I just can't see how getting stuck in priorities within an extension is going to allow me to do that.

The starting point for each phone within a company needs to make extensive use of the include= directive. Features will be disabled by default, so there will be a list of includes to block unpurchased features. Then we'll include contexts for 911, voicemail retrieval and general numbers, ie: [coo1_CallStart] include = syst_FeaturePersonalMeetmeBlock include = syst_FeatureIntercomBlock include = syst_FeatureIDDBlock include = syst_Emergency include = syst_VMRetrieve include = coo1_General include = syst_GeneralInternal include = syst_ExportedApps include = syst_Route Finally, when we're finished scanning for blocked services, and asterisk terminated extensions, we try to route the call from this phone to the destination number, either OnNet or OffNet. That's where syst_Route comes in. For managability, we have to use lots of includes. We can't have our entire dialplan as one big _X. extension match. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

DG That won't do it. Processing will continue in the current
DG extension priority. I need it to continue looking for an extension
DG to match against. Once Asterisk has matched the dialled number
DG against an extension in the dialplan, your stuck in an
DG extension you can never get out and get Asterisk to go back to
DG looking for extensions to match against.
It looks for extensions to match against all the time. What you say
makes no sense.
E.g. this code works, with EXTEN being 321 and starting in incoming.
[incoming]
exten = _3XX,1,NoOp(We get to this place)
exten = _X2X,2,Goto(incoming,${EXTEN},700)
exten = _XX1,700,NoOp(We end up here)
If EXTEN was 301, only priority 1 would run. If it was 320, priority 1
and 2 would run.
Ok, but how does that help me? All I want to do is set a variable to be used
later on in the dialplan.
Eg, if someone dialls 2944000, which is in a different company...:
[co1_phone-start]
include = co1_did
include = sys_glue
[co1_did]
exten = 3254101,1,Dial(SIP/3254101,18,tr)

exten = 3254103,1,Dial(SIP/3254103,18,tr)
; No match, so now we want to use the external caller id variable for use later
on, when
; we finally dial the dest number after performing all restriction and feature
checks.
; Actually I just realised we want to SET the caller id.
[sys-glue]
include co1_did

Re: [asterisk-users] Re: Match a Numer - then continue with dialplan
Perhaps I can get a clarification before proceeding further...
In reading the thread the situation seems to be: Company A
users has a
user with extension/callerid XXX, he calls someone in company
B and you
want to set the callerid to company A's main number rather than the
userr's default callerid?
Is this correct?
Mike,
Exactamundo.
Doug.
Ok.
How about:
;outgoing context for company A
[companyA]
;Various include statements
include = foo
.
.
.
;Handle calls from A - B
;Here will match company B numbers
exten = , 1, Set(CALLERID=CompanyAMain)
exten = , 1, Dial(${EXTEN}
You can do the inverse for companyB, or you could l have a single macro
that deals with calls to/from each company and decides what do to based
on the callerid making the call.

Typo, sorry. Should be:
Here will match company B numbers
exten = , 1, Set(CALLERID=CompanyAMain)
exten = , 2, Dial(${EXTEN})
;Handle calls from A - B
;Here will match company B numbers
exten = , 1, Set(CALLERID=CompanyAMain)
exten = , 1, Dial(${EXTEN}

Mike, this is a hosted IPT solution. There's potentially going to be hundreds
(we hope) of companies hosted and configured on this box. I'd have to write
static code to compare every number in every company to every number in every
other company, and that's just not feesible.

I think that's the deal breaker right there. I can't start a
company within an extension. The starting point for each phone
within a company needs to make extensive use of the include=
directive. Features will be disabled by default, so there will be a
list of includes to block unpurchased features. Then we'll include
contexts for 911, voicemail retrieval and general numbers, ie:
[coo1_CallStart]
include = syst_FeaturePersonalMeetmeBlock
include = syst_FeatureIntercomBlock
include = syst_FeatureIDDBlock
include = syst_Emergency
include = syst_VMRetrieve
include = coo1_General
include = syst_GeneralInternal
include = syst_ExportedApps
include = syst_Route
Finally, when we're finished scanning for blocked services, and
asterisk terminated extensions, we try to route the call from this
phone to the destination number, either OnNet or OffNet. That's
where syst_Route comes in.
Can't you in coo1_General have a line that sets a var of the current company,
then in syst_Route compare that var with where the call is going and set the
correct CID?
Or instead of including syst_Route, include syst_gotoRoute:
exten = 123XXX,1,SET(CALLERID etc.
exten = 123XXX,n,Goto(syst_Route,${EXTEN},1)

I think you've gotten to the crux of the matter. Doug, take some Advil and read the rest of this post tomorrow! :) At my work, we have a saying that we use when trying to figure out how to overcome some technical challenge. It helps us to focus on the solution, not the problem. We simply ask, What is Utopia? Then, in plain English, we describe the perfect world. (Choose the language of your locale for this exercise.) Doug, could we try this exercise? Could you collate the bits and pieces of your posts in this thread and distill them into a point-by-point description of your Utopia? Use as few technical terms and Asterisk-specific references as possible. A good starting point is the list of to-do's that you do for each call: Do they have voicemail? Do they have feature ABC? Do they have feature XYZ? After listing all of that, then give us the description of what needs to happen next, the part about deciding which caller ID info to send. Pretend like you're explaining it to a bunch of idiots who understand only small words and short sentences. :) My gut tells me that the solution lies in the big picture, not the details. The more eyes that see the big picture the better.
