RE: VOIP num-exp or translate ?

Thanks, Enrico. I knew that num-exp would work. However, the num-exp is
a global solution and would work for any phone on the router.

I used the "translate" solution because I thought it was a more specific
solution and would meet the requirements more specifically. That is,
with the "translate" solution you cannot pickup any other phone and dial
5 and get a translation to 6001. But perhaps I was overanalyzing.

As you say, the real question is whether the "translate" solution
actually works. Since I don't have VOIP or phones in my home lab I am
stuck with trying it via "csim start" in a remote lab. And unfortunately
I can attest that "csim start" is very limited and does not seem to work
for testing this configuration.

Jonathan,

With "this" I was referring to the num-exp solution which would fit
the requirement just fine. Personaly I've never seen the
"translate-outgoing"
implemented for local destination (on the same router), the only time
I've
seen it used was for voip called numbers ... I should try it on my lab
setup
though...

brgds,

Enrico
