Mike,

 Yes, the iax connection works and I can dial 3 digit extensions with the dial plan I showed. I just did not want to have to recreate all of the dial plans I have on the pbx server on the Allstar server. I wanted to wholesale send everything that went in the radio patch there for dial plan analysis. Since some extensions are 3 digits and others are more I was stymied as to how to do that. Possibly SIP would do a better job at this. Early dial is a sip feature I believe. It would not make much difference if I used IAX or SIP on the local circuit from a loading and routing standpoint.

If app_rpt did not send the digits to the dial plan until the radio carrier detect was released this would work. The digits would not be processed until they were all present. Then a dial plan of  _x!  would work. It would just except it as sent and then dial the pbx server with the extension of whatever length it was. Perhaps there is a way to do this???  Maybe we need another option in autopatch to do this!

You must route the incoming digits to the other server.

I used this method for my phone patch. I trunked it to my phone pbx (asterisk) for outgoing calls.
You just need to make a iax connection to/from each system and check that it is functional with a route in your dialplan to the other server.
As far as early dial ? -not sure if you can achieve what I think you mean by that without a bunch of script but you could start off with a prefix dial for route to the other server. That is how I make phone patches and give myself access to the radiopbx via phonepbx/inbound or sip.

Further info...

What I want to achieve here is called "early dial" when connecting a sip phone to Asterisk. Each digit is sent to the server and if it does not match a dial plan it looks for the next digit until it finally finds a match. Is there a way to do this between servers to achieve what I asked in the prior message?

Subject: [App_rpt-users] Dial plan question

I have been using Asterisk for years but I just ran into a problem that I am sure there is a way to fix but I can't figure it out.

I am connecting my Allstar server to my PBX asterisk server via IAX2. The connection works fine but I need some help on passing the extension. I want to pass the variable length extension to my pbx server. Extensions could be any combination of 3 digits up to a full phone number length. The actual extensions are processed in the PBX.

Here is the Allstar extension snippet -

[pbx_server]
exten => _xxx,1,Answer
exten => _xxx,n,noop("${EXTEN}")
exten => _xxx,n,Wait(2)
exten => _xxx,n,Dial(IAX2/pbx/${EXTEN})
exten => _xxx,n,Playback(vm-nobodyavail)
exten => ,n,Hangup

in rpt.conf

61=autopatchup,context=pbx_server,noct=1,farenddisconnect=1,dialtime=20000,quiet=1   ; Autopatch up
0=autopatchdn                           ; Autopatch down


In the example I have put a 3 digit extension.  So if I dial *61522  -  522 is passed to the pbx server. This works fine but I want to pass any length extension. If I put something like  _x!  -  it just hits on the first digit. Maybe I could use waitexten() to capture it and pass to the pbx. Any ideas?

The Allstar Asterisk and pbx Asterisk are obviously different machines on the same network.
