"Did you find a way to not use dest codes when calling from BCM-FreePBX like
FreePBX - BCM I don't need to use a dest code just dialing 3xx"
In the lands of Norstar or BCM the first digit range is assigned or reserved for devices such as sets, applications, Call Park and so on.
So I wonder this is not the case with FreePBX, so if you dial 3 is says I haven't that digit assigned so it reverts to any network link to see if anything responds?
I would then wonder if you temp disable the network link, then what happens if you dial 3 or 3XX on the FreePBX?
One trick for dialing from BCM to another BCM was to assign say 3A (ANY) as the dest code and absorb set to 0, so when you dial X322 it would pass the 3 followed by 22.
When you dial the DN it was also dialing the dest code at the same time.
You could also make a dest code for every DN on a small site in some situations, ie:
- Dest code of 300 Absorb 0, use route 000 (dial external 300)
- Dest code of 301 Absorb 0, use route 001 (dial external 301)
Here is a setup I did for a client with 2 BCM's, one site 2XX the other 3XX
I found this one too in my docs that might come in handy but its dialing dest code and dn together one after the other.

This guide is to network BCM's via SIP VoIP Trunks
SIP or Gateway Trunks key codes are required.
-The following is based on programming site A using Dest code 71 and Route 071 to call site B (or Dest 72/Route 072 to call site C and so on)
-Others sites that want to call site A would use Dest code 70 and Route 070
To make a call you dial the dest code followed by the DN (7X2XX)
-All sites have the same DN ranges (221- 2XX) in this setup
SIP Trunking/IP Trunk Settings
-Last Redirect
-Remote MWI - yes
-Send name Display - yes
SIP Trunking/Private/Routing Table
-Name of site- Site2
-Destination Digits - 7X
-Domain - localdomain or theirdomain.xxx (DNS domain name
-IP address - external public ip address (or internal if in same network)
-Port - 0
-GW Type - BCM
-MCDN - CSE
---You will need to add a table for each site except itself
SIP Trunking/Media Parameters
Make all 3 codecs available
Telephony/Global/FeatureSettings/Business Names
-Program a Name, make sure to put Space after the name
Telephony/Sets
-Program OLI as 70221
-Allow BlocA in Line Access
Telephony/Lines/Target Lines
-Private Received - 2 digit Dest plus 3 digit DN (ie 70221)
-Prime Set - None
-Assign a set (I use Ring Only and min two intercom keys to free up buttons)
-Check Caller ID
Telephony/Lines/Active Voip Lines
-Remove Prime set from Line 001, it will then remove from rest of voip lines too.
This will prevent all 7XXXX entries ringing 221, if you do not do this then Received Digits in Target Lines will appear to be ignored.
Telephony/Dialing Plan/Private Network
-Private Received - 5
-Private DN Length - 5
Telephony/Dialing Plan/Routes/
-Route 070:
Use Pool - BlocA
DN type - Private
Telephony/Dialing Plan/Dest Codes
-Dest code 70
Normal Route - 070
Absorb Lenght - 0
----To Dial out using POT's lines on remote site A (head office)
Branch Office - Site B
-Private Network type = Received and DN Length = 3, CDP, ID #1
-Dest code 9, Absorb All, Use Route 009
-Route 009, External #9, BlocA, Public
SipTrunking/Private - Routing Table 9 out 9 localdomain 192.168.1.XXX (siteA) Port 0 - GW Type BCM - MCDN Protocol CSE - Monitor false(0) - Tx Threshold 0.0
Voip Trunks use Remote Package 05
Remote Package 05 has access to BlocA and Pool A
Head Office - Site A
-Private Network type = Received and DN Lenght = 3, CDP, ID #1
-Dest code 9A, Absorb All, Use Route 000
-Route 000, use Pool A
-Public Network - Add Pub Rec Digits length maybe if it was grabbing a Voip Trunk
