Manual Dialplan Configuration

From Taridium

Most applications and ipbx functions are usually accessed using the pre-built dialplan, but it is also possible to call IVR, Groups, Conference Rooms etc. directly using a variety of AGI (Asterisk Gateway Interface) scripts.

This allows you to write complex diaplans while still retaining the GUI functionality for individual applications.

The ipbx Dialplan can be access via Configuration → Manual Editor → Dialplan.

Application Launcher Script

The application launcher script allows you to access the main applications directly using common Asterisk AGI compatible syntax.

The applications.ipbx script takes the following two arguments:

1. [application name] (required)

can be any of the following: ivr, conf, queue, channel, group

2. [application ID] (required)

is usually the name of the application element being called.

Example calling an IVR named ivrtest

 exten => 9000,1,agi(ipbx/applications.ipbx,ivr,ivrtest)

Standard Extension Script

The standard extension script can be used to ring a user using all the various feature settings. The script can be called without any arguments and will try to derive the called user from the extension called.

The stdexten.agi script takes the following optional arguments:

1. [override technology]

Set this to SIP or IAX if you need to change the used technology

2. [override channel]

Set a different main ring channel than specified in the user settings

3. [dial arguments]

Add dial arguments to be passed to the Dial Application

4. [voicemail mailbox]

Set a different mailbox/user than the one derived from the extension called. This is part of the unique user identifier.

5. [voicemail context]

Set a different context than the one derived from the extension called (usually default). This is part of the unique user identifier.

Example calling user at extension 4001

 exten => 4001,1,agi(ipbx/stdexten.agi)
