A context is simply a group -of extensions. For each "line" that should be able to be called, an extension -must be added to a context. Then, you configure the calling "line" to have -access to this context. - -If you change the dialplan, you can use the Asterisk CLI command -"extensions reload" to load the new dialplan without disrupting -service in your PBX. - -Extensions are routed according to priority and may be based on any set -of characters (a-z), digits, #, and *. Please note that when matching a -pattern, "N", "X", and "Z" are interpreted as classes of digits. - -For each extension, several actions may be listed and must be given a unique -priority. When each action completes, the call continunes at the next priority -(except for some modules which use explicitly GOTO's). - -When each action completes, it generally moves to the next priority (except for -some modules which use explicitly GOTO's. - -Extensions frequently have data they pass to the executing application -(most frequently a string). You can see the available dialplan applications -by entering the "show applications" command in the CLI. - -In this version of Asterisk, dialplan functions are added. These can -be used as arguments to any application. For a list of the installed -functions in your Asterisk, use the "show functions" command. - -* Example dial plan - -The example dial plan, in the configs/extensions.conf.sample file -is installed as extensions.conf if you run "make samples" after -installation of Asterisk. This file includes many more instructions -and examples than this file, so it's worthwile to read it. - -* Special extensions - -There are some extensions with important meanings: - - s: What to do when an extension context is entered (unless - overridden by the low level channel interface) - This is used in macros, and some special cases. - "s" is not a generic catch-all wildcard extension. - i: What to do if an invalid extension is entered - h: The hangup extension, executed at hangup - t: What to do if nothing is entered in the requisite amount - of time. - T: This is the extension that is executed when the 'absolute' - timeout is reached. See "show function TIMEOUT" for more - information on setting timeouts. - -And finally, the extension context "default" is used when either a) an -extension context is deleted while an extension is in use, or b) a specific -starting extension handler has not been defined (unless overridden by the -low level channel interface). -- cgit v1.2.3
