# Outbound Routes

Route outbound calls to gateways, tdm, enum and more. When a call
matches the conditions the call to outbound routes. [Check out the
youtube video](https://youtu.be/rhyfCKLBI-Y).

### Pin Numbers

Have the system ask for a PIN number before a call is made. A good use is   
if you don't want every user on the system to call international destinations. 

This can be done with a single PIN or multiple PINs by using the "PIN Number APP".

#### **To use a single PIN number for all calls**

Before the bridge action on the outbound route add the following actions

```
    action set pin_number=(Whatever pin number you choose)
    action lua pin_number.lua
```

#### **To use the PIN Number App to manage multiple PINs**

-   First enable access to the **"PIN Number"** app by giving
    permissions to the group of users you want to have access in
    **Advanced** > **Group Manager**. Make sure the **"PIN Number"** App
    is displayed in the menu by selecting the groups that can view it in
    **Advanced** > **Menu Manager**.
-   Set the PINs you would like to use in **Apps** > **PIN Numbers**

Before the bridge action on the outbound route add the following actions

```
    action set pin_number=database
    action lua pin_number.lua
```

#### Which gateway is my call using?

If you want to know the gateway your call is using there is currently no
way to do this with FusionPBX's GUI. Instead you can do it this way.

-   Go to **Advanced** > **Command** and in the **switch** command
    dropdown section type

-   show channels as xml and then press the execute button.

-   In the output that is returned, look for the string **sofia/gateway/
    and the gateway name.** This is the gateway your call is using.
