The IVR cannot transfer calls to an external number

The problem is related to the way in which the PBX considers the IVR entity: in fact in the most recent versions of the PBX the responder is an EXTERNAL entity and in order for it to make calls to external numbers, there must be a specific routing rule that indicates that for call that external number, the calling type must be EXTERNAL.
It is therefore necessary to create a routing rule as follows:

  • Caller type: External or All
  • Caller number:%
  • Number called: ^ EXTERNAL NUMBER $ (where EXTERNAL NUMBER is the number to which the IVR node must transfer the call)
  • Route to: desired gateway
