Is this the correct usage and syntax to initiate a call to extension 6003 from hawat?

mordor*CLI> 
mordor*CLI> channel originate SIP/hawat extension 6003@internal
mordor*CLI> 
mordor*CLI> sip show peers

Using Csip on android I can make such a call:

    -- Unregistered SIP 'hawat'

but would like to do so from the CLI with channel originate.

That is the correct format yes, but when you tried the originate hawat was not registered so it couldn’t be dialed.

To be pedantic you can’t force a phone to do things generally. What an originate does is place an outgoing call to a channel and then sends it elsewhere.

If the phone is not registered asterisk cannot dial to that device because the remote device’s IP is unknown for the Asterisk server

Ok, that makes sense that the device has to be registered. Thanks.
