+!ENUM in Short

+

+ENUM (E.164 Number to URI Mapping) translates telephone numbers into Internet addresses. You can dial a telephone number and reach a ((SIP)), ((H.323)) or any other Internet Telephony user. This all happens in the background; you do need to do anything special while calling someone.

+

+A server with ENUM support will lookup a dialled telephone number in the ENUM tree of the DNS to see if there's alternate ways to set up the call instead of just calling out on the ((PSTN)) telephone line. ENUM may contain a reference to a ((SIP URI)), a telephone number to dial, a web page or an e-mail address.

+

+ENUM is already supported by SIP Proxies like ((SIP Express Router|SER)) or SNOM 4S, VoIP gateways like ((Asterisk)),((Swyx)) Cisco) and SIP phones (SNOM 200).

+

+Enum uses ((DNS NAPTR)) resource records.

!!New in Asterisk 1.6.x

+New in __Asterisk 1.6.2__: chan_sip is now using the PickUp app to try and pickup the extension. If you put the hint in the same context as the extension this will just work, but if you have them both in separate contexts you have to do some additional stuff. This is described in sip.conf.sample by the notifycid option: This feature adds a call-id value into the XML of a SIP_NOTIFY message sent to alert a subscriber that a device is ringing. This option is only enabled when the new 'notifycid' option is set

+

+To get things to work with the hint in a different context from the extension, you will have to set __notifycid=ignore-context__ in sip.conf. Then you must use the PICKUPMARK channel variable as described in the PickUp app documentation to match the extension correctly.

+

!!New in Asterisk v1.4

If you use the special string "PICKUPMARK" for the context parameter, for example 10@PICKUPMARK, this application tries to find a channel which has defined a channel variable name PICKUPMARK with the same content as "extension".
