Dialing from dialplan¶
We are assuming you already know a little bit about the Dial application here. To see the full help for it, see "core show application Dial" on the Asterisk CLI, or see Dial.
Below we'll simply dial an endpoint using the chan_pjsip channel driver. This is really going to look at the AOR of the same name as the endpoint and start dialing the first contact associated.
To dial all the contacts associated with the endpoint, use the PJSIP_DIAL_CONTACTS() function. It evaluates to a list of contacts separated by &, which causes the Dial application to call them simultaneously.
Heres how you would dial with an explicit SIP URI, user and domain, via an endpoint (in this case dialing out a trunk), but not using its associated AOR/contact objects.
This uses a contact(and its domain) set in the AOR associated with the mytrunk endpoint, but still explicitly sets the user portion of the URI in the dial string. For the AOR's contact, you would define it in the AOR config without the user name.
