Outbound Routes

in

Information

Outgoing calls are sent over trunks as determined by the
configuration of the Outbound Routing page. This is designed to be as
flexible as possible, and allows for fall-through and multiple paths -
eg, Least Cost Routing!

Adding a Route

Route Name

This is simply a descriptive name for the trunk, which will be shown on the right hand side of the screen.

Route Password

If this route is hit by a caller, and this is not empty, they will
be prompted for a password. If they get the password incorrect, the
call will be dropped, and will not try for a match on any further
trunks.

Emergency Dialling

Settnig this means that this route is used for 'Emergency' calls.
If you wish to have a different caller ID send for this call (eg, when
you're dialling 000/911/999), turn this on. Any calls matching this
dial pattern will use the Caller ID specified in Emergency CID rather
than the usual Outbound CID in Extensions.

Dial Patterns

A Dial Pattern is a unique set of digits that will select this trunk. Enter one dial pattern per line.

Rules:

  • X - matches any digit from 0-9
  • Z - matches any digit form 1-9
  • N -matches any digit from 2-9
  • [1237-9] - matches any digit or letter in the brackets (in this example, 1,2,3,7,8,9)
  • . - wildcard, matches one or more characters
  • | - seperates a dialing prefix from the number (for example,
    9|NXXXXXX would match when some dialed "95551234" but would only pass
    "5551234" to the trunks)

Examples

  • 000
    • Only use this route if the user has dialled '000' exactly.
  • 9|911
    • Only use this route if the user has dialled '9911', but take off the 9 before sending it to the trunk
  • 0|.
    • Any number that starts with 0, use this route

Trunk Sequence

When this route is matched by the Dial pattern above, trunks are
tried in the order listed here. Note that if you have a password
protected trunk, and the caller gets the password wrong, it does not
proceed to the next trunk. Make sure you click 'Add' after adding the
trunk, and before you click 'Submit'.

Outbound call via a dedicated port

Hi
i am a new comer to Asterisk. Am using Trixbox 2.6 and FreePBX 2.4 and a TDM800P card
i would like to know if it is possible to have one extension using always the same outgoing trunk instead of hunting now the card.
For example:
Extension 555 must always use port 1
Ext 556 port 2,
etc.
now when i dial from 556 it uses port 1, unless 555 is being used before to make a call.
Thank you
