Explain the DialPlan jackson 10-September-2008 10:37:40 PMComments The dialplan is truly the heart of any Asterisk system, as it defines how Asterisk handles inbound and outbound calls. In a nutshell, it consists of a list of instructions or steps that Asterisk will follow. Unlike traditional phone systems, Asterisk’s dialplan is fully customizable. To successfully set up your own Asterisk system, you will need to un- derstand the dialplan. If you have attempted to read some sample dialplans and found them overwhelming, or if you’ve tried to write an Asterisk dialplan and had no success, help is at hand. This chapter explains how dialplans work in a step-by-step manner and teaches the skills necessary to create your own. The examples have been designed to build upon one another, so feel free to go back and reread a section if something doesn’t quite make sense. Posted by sagitraz You can use context id and if not context id then lets say calling person is supposed to be send far end context with the extension of caller id. If there is not extension programmed the user should here a message and asterisk should hang-up. If calleridnum exists in plan users go there if not go somewhere else. Posted by willie_jameson |
