Dial peer specification:
General form is pattern=destination where pattern is a regular expression matching
the incoming calls destination address and will translate it to the outgoing
destination address for making an outgoing call. For example, picking up a
PhoneJACK handset and dialling 2, 6 would result in an address of "pots:26" which
would then be matched against, say, a spec of pots:26=h323:10.0.1.1, resulting in a
call from the pots handset to 10.0.1.1 using the H.323 protocol.
As the pattern field is a regular expression, you could have used in the above
.*:26=h323:10.0.1.1 to achieve the same result with the addition that an incoming
call from a SIP client would also be routed to the H.323 client.
Note that the pattern has an implicit ^ and $ at the beginning and end of the
regular expression. So it must match the entire address.
If the specification is of the form @filename, then the file is read with each line
consisting of a pattern=destination dial peer specification. Lines without and
equal sign or beginning with '#' are ignored.
The standard dial peers that will be included are:
If SIP is enabled but H.323 & IAX2 are disabled:
pots:.*\*.*\*.* = sip:<dn2ip> pots:.* = sip:<da> pc:.* = sip:<da>
If SIP & IAX2 are not enabled and H.323 is enabled:
pots:.*\*.*\*.* = h323:<dn2ip> pots:.* = h323:<da> pc:.* =
h323:<da>
If POTS is enabled:
h323:.* = pots:<dn> sip:.* = pots:<dn> iax2:.* = pots:<dn>
If POTS is not enabled and the PC sound system is enabled:
iax2:.* = pc: h323:.* = pc: sip:. * = pc:
If IVR is enabled then a # from any protocol will route it it, ie:
.*:# = ivr:
If IAX2 is enabled then you can make a iax2 call with a command like:
simpleopal -I -H
iax2:guest@misery.digium.com/s
((Please ensure simplopal is the only iax2 app running on your box))
