the automon sequence (as configured in features.conf). If the variable TOUCH_MONI
TOR is set, its value will be passed as the arguments to the Monitor() application

If the URL argument is included, that URL will be sent to the channel (if supported).

If the channel variable named OUTBOUND_GROUP is set before Dial() is
called, all peer channels created by this application will be put in to that
call group. In the following example, all peer channels created by the
Dial() application will be part of the test call group:
; using OUTBOUND_GROUP
exten => 123,1,Set(OUTBOUND_GROUP=test)
exten => 123,n,Dial(IAX2/anotherbox/12345)
If the OUTBOUND_GROUP_ONCE variable is set, all peer channels created by
this application will be put in to that group. Unlike OUTBOUND_GROUP,
however, the variable will be unset after use.

The Dial() application sets the following variables upon exiting:
DIALEDTIME
The total time elapsed from execution of Dial() until completion.
ANSWEREDTIME
The total time elapsed during the call.
DIALSTATUS
The status of the call, set as one of the following values:
CHANUNAVAIL
The channel is unavailable.
CONGESTION
The channel returned a congestion signal, usually indicating that it was unable
to complete the connection.
