I’ve been given 2 SIP trunks from the company WILINE. I’ve added an entry for each using FreePBX. After that, I’ve created a trunk group including both trunks. My goal is to have the user dial 9 to get one of these outside trunks, but my problem is finding the correct visual component that lists the “Trunk Group”. Most (all) show only the individual SIP trunks and not the group. Do I need the group or is there another way?

Thanks.

Jim,

Have you tried with GROUP_LIST() function?

I’ve called the trunk group “WILINE”. Would it be possible to use a “Set(CHANNEL=WILINE)” and then use Dial(SIP/${CHANNEL}). Also, GROUP_LIST()funtion looks as though it returns a count. Shouldn’t it just be the GROUP() function?

Another way that came to my mind was to use a separate Dial block for each outgoing line and use the busy of one to go to the in of the next. Does this way make any sense?

Finally solved! WILINE gave me 2 seperate SIP Trunks because I asked for two numbers. Turns out that the one trunk handles all calls and the second trunk isn’t needed. All I needed to do was set the Maximum Channels in FreePBX to be the number of calls we are authorized from our location and just use the first group.
