Hi,
I am having some (limited) success with setting up
my system !
I have got an SPA-3102 connected and working after
a fashion, but I don't understand how to move on.
I am setting up an internal only VOIP system - it
will (hopefully) use the SPA3102 to take calls from the PSTN and put them
through FreeSwitch to transfer them to VOIP. The gateway will work in reverse,
taking internal VOIP calls and passing them to the PSTN.
So far, based on the "SPA3102 FreeSwitch HowTo Wiki" and some
related information, I can get FreeSwitch to see the incoming call and pass it
to the extention defined in the SPA3102 Dialplan, i.e., it rings extension
1001.
I can make outgoing calls by dialing the PSTN
Extension (1000) and then manually entering the PSTN number.
I have an "out of the box" FreeSwitch installation,
including extensions, dialplans etc.
As well as being new to FreeSwitch, all of this
phone stuff is new to me - Dialplans so far look like a black art
!
My questions are :-
Making outgoing calls.
Do I need to enter 1000 everytime I make a call -
I'm thinking that I should be able to setup a dialplan which knows that if I'm
not entering an internal (VOIP) number (format say, xxxx), it should
automatically reroute to the SPA3102 through extension 1000? I probably want to
set it up so that the user maybe has to dial a number, say 9, for the outside
line, but not the 1000 number.
When I try appending a "real" number to 1000, I get
a "CALL_REJECTED" error in the console and a "bad number" tone, I suspect that
the tone is coming from FreeSwitch and not the SPA3102 - would that be right
?
Receiving Incoming Calls
As shown in the Wiki, the SPA3102 rings phone
extension 1001. I want all internal VOIP phones to ring and be available for
answer from all phones - again, I think this should be possible, but I have no
idea how to achieve it. I'm guessing that I'd create a "dummy" extension that
the SPA3102 would call, which a dialplan would then distribute to a group of
VOIP extensions ?
Any help/pointers would be really appreciated. I
will probably try IRC later, but with the time difference, it's a bit awkward
for me (I'm in the UK) - I can't face many more late nights !
Regards
Dave
