Is there a way to edit extensions.conf from inside the web based GUI? My freePBX installation is running on a small box that doesn’t have a monitor or a keyboard, so the web interface is really all I have available to me. I can currently receive calls with my DID, but I’m having a hard time getting the outbound route configured so I can place calls. The following directions, provided by voip.ms, look helpful but they don’t seem to fit in the three fields available to me on the outbound route configuration page. So apparently I need to edit extensions.conf
Can someone help me? I’ve spent far too many days trying to get this thing up and running.
Thank you!
“If you want to dial without the 1, or without the 1+area code, here’s how you can do it. Edit extensions.conf. Note that in our example, when we match NXXNXXXXXX, we add a 1 in front of the number to dial.
Dial(SIP/1${EXTEN}@voipms). In the 7 digits example, let’s say your area code is 214. When you dial 7 numbers, the dial command will add 1214 in front. Dial(SIP/1214@{EXTEN}@voipms). Replace the 214 by the area code you want your local calls to be.”
