speeddial via outbound route?
Submitted by jlutes on Fri, 08/08/2008 - 6:15am.
I have a location that constantly calls one area code. I tried to create a new outbound route to cut down on the number of digits they have to dial as well as allow security to be added if needed. I used the following:
555|+1785nxxxxxx
but all I get back is cannot be compleated as dialed. The log files don't seem to be much help but here are it is:
Aug 8 08:03:49 VERBOSE[22930] logger.c: == Spawn extension (from-internal, 5555551212, 6) exited non-zero on 'SIP/8199-0a06f858'
Aug 8 08:03:49 VERBOSE[22930] logger.c: -- Executing Macro("SIP/8199-0a06f858", "hangupcall") in new stack
Have I just fubar'd the dial pattern? I have never tried to prepend digits but what I have found says that should work...
I think your rule may be wrong

555|+1785nxxxxxx
does not read correctly, as this means when you get a match for 5551785[1-9] (plus 6 more digits) then take off the 555 and add on nothing (as you add the characters to the left of the + sign.
I assume you are wanting to replace 555 with 1785? if so try:
1785+555|nxxxxxx
Let me know if this works.

Not it

Well, I have tried the following with the attached results:
1785+555|nxxxxxx
1785+555|.
Spawn extension (from-internal, 5554339999, 4) exited non-zero on 'SIP/8199-0a069828'
555|1785+.
Spawn extension (from-internal, 5554339999, 4) exited non-zero on 'SIP/8199-0a018588'
1+785nxxxxxx
Spawn extension (from-internal, 7854339999, 6) exited non-zero on 'SIP/8199-09f3db70
What the heck am i missing? I want to dial a 3-digit code followed by a 7-digit phone number and I really don't care if that code is the area code I want to use. The reason I need this configured is to allow a pin set to call one area code.
ahh - there's the problem!

you can only ADD digits as part of a TRUNK dial pattern rule, you can chop digits off at this point but the primary reason for these patterns is to match a number with a trunk.
here is quite from an article you may find useful:
"Route Dial Patterns cannot be used to add digits to the number dialed by the user. However, you can strip off leading digits before passing them to a trunk. This is most useful if you use a specific dialing code to access a particular route (for example, "9" to access an outside line)."
see:
http://www.aussievoip.com.au/wiki/Hints+on+Route+Dial+Patterns+an...
You may have to create a new trunk then - or you could use impossible characters *** or similar?
btw - yes that was what my rule was doing.
I've not used pin sets, so can't advise on that side of things, sorry :(
