[Freeswitch-users] Account selection

[Mathieu Rene]

Hi,

You can set the current account using the "set_user" dialplan application.

You could define a list of prefixes to select which account you use when dialing outbound.

For example:

<user id="phone_user">
 <variables>
  <variable name="line_1" value="alice@$${domain}" />
  <variable name="line_2" value="bob@$${domain}" />
 </variables>
</user>

And then in your dialplan
<extension name="line_select">
 <!-- Note: we use \w+ here for security, dont use .* -->
 <condition field="destination_number" expression="^8(\d)(\w+?)$">
   <action application="set_user" data="${line_$1}' />
   <action application="transfer" data="$2 XML default" />
 </condition>
</extension>

Once set_user runs, it loads in everything from the user directory, like if the call came from that user.
You can now dial 81[number] to dial the number using the phone's line 1, etc.

This is a good example of how one can be creative in their ways of configuring freeswitch :)

You should then be informed which account is receiving a call and can pick a particular account from which to make calls. Once a PBX is in use, you can register the client as a single extension of the PBX and direct calls as appropriate to that extension - I assume with the correct caller ID and incoming account information passed to the recipient so they know as much as in the 'no PBX' configuration.
