noobie question about call flow

[bsmco]

Hi my name is rick whitley. i am new to asterisk and to voip. i am working on a project to test a prepaid call card solution with asterisk. i know i'm missing something but, how can i answer a call, authenticate, and place a call to another destination? I can't seem to get my head around these config files. any help or pointers to docs would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hi, in your dialplan, -extensions.conf, if you are from scratch- You need to define the authenticate application, then if it exist make the call.

If you want to use a database then with Agi script is the solution.

If you are using one of freepbx based gui, you need to define a Pinset and then in your outbound route select that pinset.

yes, i will be using a postgresql database. i will look into Agi and see how much of that i understand. thanks for the pointer!
