config extensions.conf

[jhdoan]

i'm having trouble initially configuring my extensions.conf file.
where do i add all those additional things astguiclient needs to talk with asterisk that scratch install talks about?

so far i have this

[globals]

[general]

[default]
exten => s,1,Verbose(1|Unrouted call handler)
exten => s,n,Answer()
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,Playback(tt-weasels)
exten => s,n,Hangup()

[incoming_calls]
exten => _X.,1.NoOp()
exten => _X.,n,Dial(SIP/1000)

[outgoing_calls]
exten => _X.,1,NoOp()
exten => _X.,n,Dial(SIP/my_service_provider/${EXTEN})

[internal]
exten => 1000,1,Verbose(1|Extension 1000)
exten => 1000,n,Dial(SIP/1000,30)
exten => 1000,n,Hangup()
exten => 500,1,Verbose(1|Echo test application)
exten => 500,n,Echo()
exten => 500,n,Hangup()

[phones]
include => internal
include => outgoing_calls

you want to use the extensions.conf that comes with vicidial. do not try to "create your own" until you have some experience.

it took matt quite some time to build this dial plan. every user who has "altered" the dial plan or tried to use their own (even experienced Asterisk Gurus) have slammed into a wall when they do anything other than just Use the Standard.

Each item in there has a reason to be there (a single missing "o" will cause you hours of grief, there is seriously a LOT of work in there). So ... use the standard one, get your system going, and experiment with your own custom version Later. (or spend the same number of hours on your own that Matt and everyone else has spent as a group, hundreds of hours total, trying to re-invent this wheel)

I would agree. Install the dialplan that comes with Vicidial and then alter it to meet your needs. If you add any contexts or macros just remember EVERY context and macro needs to have the 'h' extension in it. This is very important or your Vicidial can potentially get confused.
