gsm asterisk group help please

Hello!
I recently bought a G400E with 4 M20 modules. The card is working perfectly. Calling quality is great.

I am able to dial with the following code:

exten => 116,1,Dial(extra/17/*the_mobile_number*,30)

I had the cards config themselves to 17,19,21,23

However i see people making calls through the card as a group, like:

exten => 116,1,Dial(extra/g11/*the_mobile_number*,30)

I was unable to figure this out by myself.

PleaseHelp!



I am using Centos 6.0 (i686), asterisk 1.8, dahdi 2.4, chan_extra 2.0.7 as per manual on your site.

Hello,

You can edit your configuration file /etc/asterisk/extra-channels.conf, the parameter group, set each group in every span to be a same vaule, like group = 11, then in your dialplan,

configure it to be like this:

exten => 116, 1, Dial(extra/g11/*the_mobile_number*,30)

Hope it helps.

Hello!
My extra-channels.conf is this:

My problem is, there are two group tags in each span.
How should i modify this to work ok?

This system is already in production use, so i dont have much time to
get it offline to try things.....

context=gsm_bejovo
signalling = gsm
smscodec=utf-8

tty=off
pin=1989
channel => 17
context = gsm_bejovo
group = 1

group=13
context=gsm_bejovo
