You would need to create a phone template and define the parameter "call-limit"
Note in the template, you will have to include all settings for the phone, including secret (registration password), context, codecs etc.
If you look in /etc/asterisk/sip-vicidial.conf for the extension in question, you could copy what's there for that extension and just add call-limit at the bottom.
Once you've created your phone template, assign the phone to that template and test after the top of the next minute.
Just in case you'll be transferring calls from this extension, call-limit=1 will prevent warm transfers since this would involve a second call.

Here's an example
Remember that the registration password and phone context on the vicidial admin page will be ignored and it's whatever is in the template that will apply
So registration password will be whatever the "secret" is in the template
and phone context will be whatever the "context" is in the template.
Note you may have to take g729 out if you don't have the codec installed.
- Code: Select all
secret=[REGISTRATION PASSWORD]
context=["default" or "defaultlog" or whatever custom dialplan context you have set up for your phones]
type=friend
host=dynamic
disallow=all
allow=g729,alaw,ulaw
call-limit=1
rtcp_mux=yes
directmedia=no
