Your'e wanting control of the call from a call file. The way to do that is to call using a context instead of a Technology/number.
When you call SIP/trunk_1, you are using the default context and therefore don't have any "fallthrough" options unless you wrote them into your default context. If your default context allows dynamic handling on fallthrough, you would probably still want to call number 1 using a context. I used SIP/170 as an example; you could use SIP/trunk1/#1 just as easily. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Gibbons Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 4:21 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Call File Channel Context: is what the call is dumped into after it is answered, at extension Extension:. I don't think it's related to how the call is placed. I can dial the local extension SIP/170 but I'm not sure where that gets me. Basically I want to have the same failover that I have for all other outgoing calls on these automatic calls.

Here's how you would do that: Channel: SIP/170 (some local extension) CallerID: SIP/104 (another local extension) MaxRetries: 1 WaitTime: 60 retryTime: 5 Context: your_context Extension: s This should create an extension call using your context. The context can then dial out as you write it. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Gibbons Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 4:10 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Call File Channel Thanks Danny, I do have a dial cmd with multiple arguments in my normal outgoing context. I guess my question really is: How do I tell the call file using "Channel: XXX" to use my outgoing context instead of Zap/g1/xx or sip/trunk_x/xx directly? -Dave From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Danny Nicholas Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 5:05 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Call File Channel Exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/trunk_x/#1&SIP/trunk_y/#2&ZAP/g1/#3,60) _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Gibbons Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 3:59 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] Call File Channel I know I'm missing something here (been a long day). How can I specify more than one channel in a call file? I want to dial SIP/trunk_x and fail to SIP/trunk_y and fail to ZAP/g1. Thanks Dave
