Directing 2nd phone number to specific extension (or phone)

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi. I am not very familiar with Asterisk, although I am feverishly reading all I can about the system. Anyhow, I inherited a running Asterisk system and just added a second phone number from the same provider, which is now routed to our ip address along with the main phone number. Both numbers are from the same provider (NexVortex). What I need to accomplished is the following:

  1. Direct all calls from the second phone number to a specific extension (or phone).

  2. All calls made on that specific extension (or phone) needs to go through the second phone number.

The problem so far is when you call the second number, the call gets directed to our main greeting instead of the specific extension (or phone). Right now I am using an incoming call rule to route all calls matching the second phone pattern to a specific extension, and it is not working. When I try to add a second DID trunk, the second phone number will route correctly, but knocks out the main number.

I’m assuming that there is a filter feature in Asterisk that I am just not aware of, or maybe I am completely off base and need to configure something. Also, can the problem be due to having the same phone number provider? Should I get a second username password from the phone provider for the second number so I can properly setup a second DID trunk?

I am using the digium asterisk gui web interface, but have the capability to SSH into the Asterisk computer to make any changes to configuration files. Any information that you guys can provide to help point me in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks

Please provide relevant extracts of your configuration and a verbose CLI trace. Although statistically it is likely that you are using SIP, we can’t even tell that from what you have written, except possibly by looking up what services NexVortex provides.

Incidentally, if you are using SIP and trying to use contexts on the trunks, you may find you have a problem in that the trunks are being identified by IP address, so only the context from the first matching entry might be being used.

Thank you for the quick reply. You are right with your assumption that we are using SIP (I’m not sure how I forgot to mention that). I will try to retrieve the necessary information.

Below are snippets from my configuration files. As for trace information, I am still in the process of figuring out how to do it. Please let me know if more information or what files you need in order to assist me. Thanks
