Request for answer only extension

[Giuseppe Chillemi]

I have a potential customer which whish to build an hybrid company where some people are allowed to call, some other people are not. Also an external company will connect to the local Axon PBX.

It would be really nice to have a flag "Can't Call" on the single extension.

Dial plan can help

[pythonpoole]

Sometimes you can program this into the dialplan of the IP Phone or ATA adapter you are using, and this can be much easier than trying to come up with a round-about method in Axon.

 

For example, almost any Linksys/Sipura ata adapter (e.g. the PAP2T) will have have a built-in dialplan option that gives you high levels of control over what numbers can be dialed, how they can be dialed, and how they should be processed before sending them to the SIP server (Axon). You could for example restrict calling to some numbers but not others (e.g. everything but 911), or you could make it a 'hot-line' phone, or just prevent any outbound dialing at all.

Just set up two dial plans.

 

One "Standard" plan with access to all external lines

 

Another one "Internal Only" with no call routes and “If none of the above applies, dial on line” set to [Extension]

Now when you set up a extension you set to either a call plan for most users to “Standard” or “Internal Only” to prevent them calling anything but another extension
