Why Doesn’t Extension “s” Work ?

I’m using “s” extension in my dialplan:

[gv-voice]
exten => s,1,Verbose(callerid is “${CALLERID(all)}” or
“${CALLERID(num)}”) ;Set(Var_TO=${SIP_HEADER(TO)}) ; PJSIP_HEADER(read,To)
same=>n,….

But when a call comes in to the gv-voice context, “s” doesn’t match the extension:

res_pjsip_session.c:2991 new_invite: Call from ‘gv-voice’
(UDP:10.10.10.80:5062) to extension ‘‘ rejected because extension not found in context ‘gv-voice’.

I thought “s” (as in start ?) would match any extension sent to that context.

  • The “s” extension does not work because you are calling a numbered extension. If the call was coming in without an explicit number it would work. If you want to use your s extension in this case you need to add:
    exten => _X.,1,Goto(s,1) That will redirect any call coming in to your s extension.

  • Think of “s” as meaning “stupid” because calls from devices too stupid to send the dialed number are routed to the “s” extension.

    Any incoming calls which includes the dialed number would NOT be sent to extension “s”, those calls will match whatever the dialed number is.

  • OK. Thanks to both of you. I’ll use _X. and I’ll remember “s” as in
    “stupid” !
