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:[email protected]/s

((Please ensure simplopal is the only iax2 app running on your box))
