asterisk users - Nov 2006 - some simple newbie help with dialplan needed...

Hi all!

I need a simple plan for the following:


*answer call
*wait for 4 digit extension
*send call to 4-digit extension entered.

I tried the following, but that doesn't work...

exten => 998,1,Answer()
exten => 998,2,Background(agent-newlocation)
exten => 998,n,WaitExten(20)
exten => 998,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@${SERADDRESS},60,tr)


WaitExten obviously does not fill EXTEN with its value...



Anyone any suggestions?


Regards,
  Evert

You're on the right track.
Try the following:

[whatever]
exten => 988,1,Answer
exten => 998,2,Background(agent-newlocation)
exten => 998,3,DigitTimeout,5
exten => 998,4,ResponseTime,10

exten => _XXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@{SERADDRESS},60,tr)

exten => i,1,Playback(pbx-invalid)
exten => i,2,goto(whatever,988,2)

Good luck,

bp

Hi! :)

Thanks for the tip. I'm almost there now, the only problem that I have
left is that I do NOT want Asterisk to check whether the extension
entered is valid. In the current setup Asterisk will refuse to forward
the call since it thinks the extension is invalid...  :-/

Could anyone knows what this error codes means;

-- Got SIP response 481 "Call/Transaction Does Not Exist" back from
<SIP Gateway IP Address>

Thanks

It means that the number you are calling does not exist in the dialplan of
wherever you are sending it.

FYI, next time start a new email instead of hijacking someone elses thread.
