As far as I have been able to tell, ${DNID} and ${EXTEN} are the same. I use
${RDNIS} with my PRI to have several #s redirected to a single DID and then
provide the RDNIS information to the far-side Asterisk box, it works just
fine.
As far as testing goes, you might just want to do something like this (may not
work):
exten => _#NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(RDNIS=${EXTEN:1})
exten => _#NXXNXXXXXX,2,Goto(incoming,SOMEDID,1)
where 'incoming' is the normal context your calls would come in to and
SOMEDID
is the DID they'd normally hit. #[11 digits] would set the RDNIS and jump
to
the normal incoming context. I think. RDNIS may be one of those variables
that aren't settable from inside the dialplan.
