Context

General Help

When I was using old version of asterisk,the below context works for me. It helps me to prevent extensions under emergency-from-internal context to dial authorized trunks. When i use the same with new Freepbx, it doesn’t work. Please help me on this.

[emergency-from-internal]

Asterisk = The Engine
FreePBX = the cockpit with all the knobs dials and flashy lights.

What did you change exactly… versions that work? current versions?

Note things do get deprecated by Asterisk. Under the hood we generate different dialplan for different Asterisk versions based on that versions needs.

In addition to the syntax errors the code in general doesn’t pass sanity check. The default, Asterisk, unknown and Unknown sequence ID’s are probably unreasolved.

Also do you have a macro called “emergency”

I think if you take a look at the wiki http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/F2/FreePBX+Modules+Home
at the extension routing and outbound route modules you can achieve what you want without any custom extensions.
