Tom, If you have a prefix defined for a gateway you don't need aliases. If you look at recommendation H.225.0 (RAS protocol) you will see that there are seperate concepts for "prefixes" and "aliases". In GnuGK though these digit strings are put in a common table. When a gateway registers (with RRQ) it should specify the prefix(es) it provides coverage for. Some gateways (or some configurations) may send terminal aliases in the RRQ instead or in addition to prefixes. In any event whether a gateway registered with a "prefix" or a terminal "alias" it is treated equally in GnuGK. If you want all calls to area code 212 to be sent to the gateway H1_GW then you define it as: [RasSrv::GWPrefixes] H1_GW=212 Alternatively you could configure the gateway with this prefix and allow gateways to register with a prefix: [RasSrv::RRQFeatures] AcceptGatewayPrefixes=1 There is no need for a terminal alias in this configuration. The purpose of a terminal alias is to define the end destination. If you had an IP telephone and it had two directory numbers assigned to it it would register with two terminal aliases. These would be the entire directory number (i.e. 2125551234) and would end up in GnuGK's "prefix" table. They aren't really prefixes however they match using the same rules. If you also had a gateway defined as above that gateway would be chosen for all other calls to area code 212. The longer "prefix" (2125551234) would match calls to the IP telephone and that destination would be chosen. -Vance On Mon, Jun 30, 2003 at 01:59:00PM -0400, Tom wrote: } } I've been looking at the manual regarding the [RasSrv::RewriteE164] } section of the configuration file, and after experimenting with it a } bit, I have a question: why does the rewrite take place before the } number is registered with the gatekeeper?
