This is a useful command when building your dial plan, it allows testing of the dial plan remotely. There are a couple of commands to explain. The first is the originate command a highly useful tool for checking any IVR context’s, this is how to use it.
originate SIP/14075551234@sip-outbound extension s@auto-att
Let me explain this.:
originate = command
SIP/14075551234 = what technology to use so this could be IAX.,SIP,ZAP,DHADI following a slash and phone number
@sip-outbound = this is what context to send it to in sip.conf or other associated technology file
extension = is required for the command
s = this is what exten to send to within the context specified below
@auto-att = which context to send to in extensions.conf
Now the other way to dial out from the system is with the dial command which is show below.
dial 14075551234@internal
dial = the command
14075551234 = the digits to send, so this could be anything you want it just has to match something in the context you specify
@internal = the context you would like to match the digits in extensions.conf
For PRI
originate DAHDI/g0/07428XXXXXX extension 794XXXX@context_name
Above command will generate an outbound call to 07428XXXXXX, To check different spans of PRI card you have to edit g0(i.e grouping of PRI)
For SIP
originate SIP/14075551234@sip-outbound extension s@context_name
Sample with SLT SIP trunk
originate SIP/0715770488@SLT extension s@from-trunk
0715770488 = mobile number
SLT = Outgoing Trunk
