Specify Phone number for Polled Collection
$poll_phone phonenum mailbox
This command identifies the fax phone number to call in an outbound operation for "call and receive" polling (which requires pollout line operation enabled). This is a required command for this application and must not be used in the same file as $fax_phone.
The parameters on this command are used as follows:
| phonenum | fax phone number to call, enclosed in double quotes if it contains embedded spaces. |
| mailbox | mailbox number to receive the fax. |
If the phone number contains embedded spaces parentheses, square brackets, hyphens, tilde or slash characters, they are discarded. The processing of '+' is affected by the $country_prefix configuration command. The number is then processed as specified in the $phone_mask command, if any. Any other non-numeric character causes all following characters to be excluded from phone-mask matching (and then replaced). This allows you to specify, for example, a delay and then dialing an extension number (e.g. ",,,34"). It also allows a standard dial command prefix (e.g. "TW") to be used to bypass phone-mask processing altogether.
In PRI-ISDN systems, non-numeric characters (other than those listed above as discarded) in a dial string cause the number to be rejected, since special prefix characters are never valid.
Default: none (required entry for poll calls)
Example:
$poll_phone "6307788848"
