We have an Asterisk server set up to do some SIP testing. We access this server by dialling 8-1-747-xxx-xxxx. Server is actually a trunk group connected via a local T-1. We recently decided to use the Asterisk server to identify lines - we have students who continually remove face plate tags and then don't know what number the extension is. Obviously, they can call anyone on campus who has a display phone, however, this is bothersome and typically happens at 3:00 AM!
The Asterisk server nicely reads back the calling number. Only problem is, if the number is an on-campus only (non DID) we ship it off with the main listed number - not the actual extension. We have a 4 digit phantom set up to dial the 8-1-747-xxx-xxxx number so its easy to get to.
Anyone have any idea on how to program the PBX to send just the actual four digit extension to that specific trunk group?
Thanks,
Dave Bopp
