Video how to create PBX Function "Dial Local" and assign it to some DID:

<flashow>http://wiki.kolmisoft.com/videos/dial_local_pbx_function_setup_to_did.swf%7Cwidth=600%7Cheight=455</flashow>

If you want to play some audio before entering local extension assign such DID to IVR (which plays necessary audio).

Video how to do that (ALL ACTIONS IN FIRST VIDEO ALREADY MUST BE DONE BEFORE STARTING ON THIS VIDEO!):

<flashow>http://wiki.kolmisoft.com/videos/dial_local_with_audio_ivr.swf%7Cwidth=600%7Cheight=455</flashow>

Now dialing DID 22222 audio will be played asking to enter local extension.

NOTE: DIDs 11111 and 22222 are just for demo purposes - instead of 22222 use real DID, you can use fake DID 11111 if you will not use it directly.

Checking

For such configuration you will need 2 DIDs, one of them can be fake (11111 in our example) another should be read (22222 in our example).

After you done configuration by videos and it fails to work, first thing to do is to call your primary DID (11111 in our example and see if you end up in your IVR where you can enter local extension).

• If you can - then you made mistake in second video.
• If you can not - you made mistake in first video (at least).

Recheck accordingly. Fix. Retest.

Following screenshots are for quick check on configuration. Change 11111/22222 to your DIDs.

DIDs in example 11111 and 22222 is JUST for DEMO purposes! Use your own correct DIDs!

In last picture t and i actions forwards back to IVR which means that if user presses anything in IVR or does not press anything - he will be routed back to IVR to retry.
