Call routing by suffix
einfostar:
I'd like to have the ability to choose which trunk to use by adding a suffix (like "#" or "*") at the end of the number. For example, when I dial xxxxxxx I'd like to use SP1, but want to use SP2 if I add # at the end of the same number. The reason is that I have the phone numbers stored in my phone, but sometimes I want to use SP1 to call and other times SP2 since SP1 and SP2 have different CID#. How would I configure the outbound call route to achieve this?
RonR:
A trailing # is already used in the OBi to signify the end of a dialing string.
The default outbound trunk is selected at : Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine
You can override the default outbound trunk selection using:
**1 + number -> SP1
**2 + number -> SP2
**8 + number -> PSTN Line
**9 + number -> OBiTALK
While it's possible to throw the current methodology out and define something totally different, it's not a trivial undertaking and I would recommend getting familiar with the current behavior first.

What I am trying to do is to avoid the prefix (**1, **2, etc) since my numbers are stored in my phone and I cannot dial **2 and then add the number from the phone directly but to manually dial each digit, but I can always add something else at the end after I dial from my phone directory. In my Linksys SPA3102 I can do this easily in the dialplan, and I suppose this should not be that hard to achieve in the call route configuration.
RonR:
I haven't tested this or even thought it through very well, so it comes with no guarantees. Hopefully, a trailing * will send calls to SP2 instead of SP1.
Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> PrimaryLine : SP1 Service
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile A -> General -> DigitMap:
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xx.|
<**2>1xxxxxxxxxx<*:>|<**21>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx<*:>|<**2>011xx.<*:>|
(Mipd)|[^*]@@.'@'@@.)

I tried that and it works perfectly. Thanks RonR!
