Outbound route for group of extensions only

[mos]

Hi All ,

in outbound route how I can create a group of extensions and add condition if the number is part of the group then allow to be routed to gateway otherwise reject it ?

thanks

Toll Allow is the easiest way.

I am not sure this is what I asked for, I want to allow a group of extension to be able to call to a specific destination. for example, I have an outbound route called

outbound-777, I want to the below extension be able to route via this outbound route, the rest being rejected.

3331212
3334900
3330001
3331234
3338000

the docs might be hard to decipher but will do exactly what you are asking. You can make a custom condition matching $sip_from_user to a proper regex to include those extensions.

The Toll Allow method would allow you to create the route once then easily add/change who has that "toll allow" field in their extension info

Hi, I have tried the

${toll_allow}

but it seems not working, please check the screen shot attached,

I have added toll allow to "mobile" inside extension and then add condition inside outbound route

${toll_allow}

and in data column I have add "mobile"

I do it using caller_id_number as the second condition. Four digit extension numbers, 11xx go out on one outbound route, 22xx go out on another. I found using $sip_from_user for this was problematic if end users used click to dial. See the attached screen shot.

 

[mos]

but imagine, when you cannot define a proper regular expression for group of caller_id_numbers, maybe the numbers are not in sequence

3331212
3334900
3330001
3331234
3338000

so its better to use Toll Allow for those extensions and then in outbound route add the condition and say if the ${toll_allow} is equal "something" then it will be routed to gateway otherwise not allowed, I did this but I have no idea why it is not working .

 

[ad5ou]

Adrian's method should work also but can get messy as additional extension numbers are added/removed. You can build a regex to match each extension but I feel Toll Allow method is easier to manage.

As I mentioned previously I have added this configuration, but it is not working.

Hi,
Not Sure if this is gonna help but for limited users or group of users you can just set a condition based on the the extensions. For eg.

nice idea, thanks

Hi all,
I tried the "rbar" solution, but didn't work, I tried many condition as attached, none of the working

 

[Adrian Fretwell]

@mos, I have just tested the "toll_allow" method on my test lab (Fusion 4.5.9 Fs 1.10.1) it worked first time for me.

I set up ext 201 with a toll allow values of foo and set up ext 202 with a toll allow value of bar. I then configured two gateways on different SIP trunks. Then created two outbound routes that take any number beginning with a 0 (zero) one pointing to each gateway and set up the toll allow accordingly:




This works as expected, so maybe you have some other part of your configuration that is causing you trouble.

 

[rbrar]

I have a question @mos , what's the value of 'extension in contact' and 'caller Id in from' in your gateway configuration.

 

[mos]

Thanks Adrian, for your test and explanation,

@rbrar please find the attached screenshot of the extension configuration.

 

[rbrar]

Sorry @mos, the settings i am talking about should be in gateway configuration not in extension configuration.

 

[rbrar]

Also please share conditions you have set at the Outbound Routes.

 

[mos]

I tried different conditions please check the attachment,
so it becomes like this :

condition Caller ID Number 3238769

 

[rbrar]

Sorry @mos , is it possible to share the actual complete outbound route you are using/creating?

I might have an idea about what might be problem, why it is not working for you.

Hi rbrar, thanks for your response, please find the screenshot of the outbound route for both condition :
Toll Allow and Username
