Obtain IP address through dialplan?

[dghundt]

Is there a way to obtain the ip address of pbxiaf system by calling into a custom dialplan which could playback the ip address to the caller? Would use an fxs extension to dial in.

would set variable to the ip address (how?)
then playback the numbers.

Doc,

Do you want the internal IP or the external IP?

I would like the internal ip address (the one I would use via my LAN to log on).

Thanks!

I didnt put it all together and test it, but you could put something like this in a script that sets a variable:

ifconfig eth0 | awk '{print $2}' | grep -o "[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*" | awk '{print $1}'

and then use something like:

exten => s,1,sayalpha($variable)

It should work.

Just out of curiosity, if you have people calling into this system, wont the admin already know the IP address? If so cant he just setup an extension with something like this in it?:

exten => s,1,answer
exten => s,2,sayalpha(192.168.1.100)
sxten => s,3,hangup

thanks.
have not worked much with scripts, but will play with this.

I am experimenting with the ip04 box which does not have samba, so I would like to be able to dial in to find the ip address kind of like what one does with the sipura ata's(instead of connecting with the serial cable).
thanks again.
