I think that what we really need is a simple way to configure that a given number is an inbound number for the system and what should happen with it - whether that number is a trunk number or a DID for some user. Right now, we have a number of different mechanisms that can be used to do this (the override in sipXbridge that has the 'operator' default, dial plans, adding aliases to users, etc), but the user has to do them 'manually'. The administrator should not have to understand the difference between an alias and a dial plan and a hunt group and an auto-attendant; they should be able to say "this is an inbound number and this is where I want it to go" and sipXconfig should choose the appropriate mechanism. This would have the additional benefit that we could at the same time ensure that these inbound numbers are never routed out to the PSTN just to loop back (currently, there are ways that you can set that up that cause that to happen) [1]. [1] http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-5380 +1 A trunk list could be very convenient, one that shows the numbers for the system, and how they are routed. If there was a method to show status of the number as well - when a call comes into that number, and the call is still active - show it as active in that screen (number of calls to that number active). Of course Scott's idea is growing here, but it could be a great tool. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/ _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
