You can even use the Calling rule to route it to local extensions as Destination or Route the
calls to Trunks created so as to make the calls successful. There as still many options like
striping the number of digits from front, prepend the digits before dialing and filter. There is
also another alternative way if the trunk fails to route the call i.e. Failover Trunk an
alternative trunk to route calls.
Send this call through trunk
Use Trunk Select the trunk for this outbound rule.(FXO/VOIP Trunk)
Strip Allows the user to specify the number of digits that will be
stripped from the beginning of the dialed string before the call
is placed via the selected trunk.
Prepend Specify the digits to be prep ended before the call is placed
via the trunk. Those digits will be prepended after the dialing
number is stripped.
Filter This option is used to filter out certain characters. The
characters listed in the field will be permitted, while all others
will be filtered out.
Here we will discuss about how to choose outgoing trunks in two different ways.
The First way is, choose a provider or a trunk based on prefix.
This type of rule will allow user to create a prefix for choosing SIP (VoIP) or LINE (PSTN /
FXO) trunk to make an outgoing call.
