Default Re: Using a slide Switch 2A to switch between POTS and FreePBX

My first foray into Asterisk using an old x86 machine involved "Dial 9 for an outside line" because that's how office telephones usually work, but I quickly realised this was unnecessary and confusing for the uninitiated. Outbound rules can determine routing, and here we touch on something you mentioned earlier, the pause while the system determines if you have finished dialling. Unlike the PSTN, we don't have to strictly parse our digit length for example 123 on my system gives me the Alison Smith speaking clock but 12310, 12311, 12320, 12321 [...] etc. turn on and off relays connected to the GPIO pins. You can always dial # to signal that you've finished
