Creating PBX 101's Outbound Route(s)
There are two examples of outbound routes presented here, you can select one or the other. You start by selecting Outbound Routes
- Direct Dial PBX 106's Extensions
This outbound rule allows PBX 101 to directly dial PBX 106's extensions. For example, to dial PBX 106's extension 3001. You dial 3001.
Three things to configure:
- Route Name: 106-dial3xxx - Can be anything, be descriptive so you remember what it is 6 months from now when it stops working!
- Dial Patterns: 3xxx -This says any 4 digit extension starting with 3 will be forwarded to the designated trunk.
- Trunk Sequence: IAX2/106-peer - This is the trunk that we configured that goes to PBX 106
- Route Name: 106-dial3xxx - Can be anything, be descriptive so you remember what it is 6 months from now when it stops working!
- Dial 7 first to go to PBX
For this outbound rule, you must dial 7 to connect to PBX 106, then the extension. It adds the flexibility that you can also dial local numbers at PBX 106 through the IAX2 trunk.
Three things to configure:
- Route Name: 106-dial7ext - Can be anything, be descriptive so you remember what it is 6 months from now when it stops working!
- Dial Patterns: 7|* -This says whenever a dialed number starts with 7, the following numbers regardless of length will be forwarded to the designated trunk.
Note: If you have problems with this dial pattern, try 7|xxxx where each x indicates a digit of the extension.
- Trunk Sequence: IAX2/106-peer - This is the trunk that we configured that goes to PBX 106
- Route Name: 106-dial7ext - Can be anything, be descriptive so you remember what it is 6 months from now when it stops working!
Now, we complete the IAX2 trunk by creating PBX 106's outbound routes
