[*] Getting past Demo-Congrats - Help Appreciated

[Sean Walberg]

Hi, Brent.  Have you looked at 
http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=11

It's the pdf of a book that O'Reilly just released, it might be the guided 
approach you're looking for.

As for the extensions.conf, it sounds like you're on the right track with 
your incoming context.  Generally you have a default context that defines 
all your extensions:

[default]

# Voice mail access
exten => 8500,1,VoicemailMain
exten => 8500,n,Hangup
# My extension
exten => 2001,1,Macro(stdexten,2001,H323/${EXTEN}@192.168.1.95)

Then you define a series of contexts that have increasing levels of 
privilege and that include the ones below it:

[local-free]
# include some other contexts that people in this group can use
include => default
include => outbound-fwd
include => outbound-isn
# also define toll free numbers and IAXtel here
exten => _1700NXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN}@iaxtel)
exten => _1888NXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN}@iaxtel)
exten => _1877NXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN}@iaxtel)
exten => _1866NXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN}@iaxtel)
exten => _1800NXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN}@iaxtel)

[local-out]
# These people can dial 9 to get out using the IAX gateway
exten => _9NXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/USERNAME at GW/${EXTEN})
include => local-free

And when you define the soft phone or FXS port, you put it in the 
appropriate context.

For incoming stuff, you can either include the default context:

[inbound-pots]
include => default

or what I do is define some mapping stuff

[inbound-sip]
exten => _X.,1,Macro(remap,${EXTEN},sipextensions)

which basically does some database lookups to figure out what extension 
and context to send the call to, rather than including the default 
context.

HTH,

Sean
