Below is some info on how uplink (sip > skype) can work together with axon using the uplink "use the dialed number" option
First thing to do is go to axon web interface > extensions
add an extension
extension id: skype (when using another name please use this name below in the uplink sip account numer box and also in the external line user id below)
display name: skype
password: (typ your password here) 1234 in this example
outbound dialing plan: default
In uplink under sip you can add the above settings
display name: skype
sip account number: skype (or other name you supplied under add an extension)
server: (the ip address of your axon server)
password (the password you supplied during axon add extension) 1234 in this example
Also you have to use the dialed number option.
Restart uplink.
Uplink will now login to the skype account (on your axon server).
Read the SIP PRIVATE IP
Go back to the axon webinterface.
Add an external line
Line name: Skype
Server: (type the SIP PRIVATE IP supplied by uplink here)
User ID: Skype (the user id should be the same as the user id that you use for uplink to login to axon)
Password (the password should be the same as the one you used for the uplink extension in axon) 1234 in this example
In the axon webinterface now go to dialing plans
go to default
add dial rule.
if the number starts with: 8 (can be a different number but preferably not 1 as these are normally internal axon extensions)
remove digits: 1
dial on line: (select your skype line here)
Above dialplan is for people using regular touchtochtone phones without display. Whenever you dial 8 and after that the skype speed dial number you will be connected.
You can also add the following option:
add dial rule.
if the number starts with: skype_
remove digits: 6
dial on line: (select your skype line here)
this means whenever you type skype_ and after that the skype user name or skype speed dial number you will be connected.
It took a few hours to figure this out but it works now. Any comments please post them.
