Hi, DAHDI and LIBPRI are the standard versions from the Asterisk web site. The Asterisk server has a Sangoma E1 card in it and the line is regular ISDN30. Cheers, Kingsley. On Thu, 2011-11-03 at 08:14 -0500, Danny Nicholas wrote: Please elaborate on your flavor of DAHDI and LIBPRI and what

[asterisk-users] duration limits in Dial() not being enforced at correct time

Hi, We're trying to time-limit some calls by specifying L(x:y:z) as an option to the Dial command. If we set the limit to a fairly short duration (eg 120 seconds) then Asterisk seems to issue the hangup at about the right time. However, for longish calls we're seeing quite a bit of overspill.

Please elaborate on your flavor of DAHDI and LIBPRI and what type of DAHDI service you are using (PSTN, T1, etc). Speaking from a POTS line point of view, there can easily be a 7-10 second delay in the processing of DAHDI information (which would make your 1347 second call within tolerance).

If you dial to a Local/Context and use your time limits on that and then do your dial to your DAHDI device inside that context does that have any effect on the time limits working. We have used time limits with Local/Context dials and had them work with out any known issues. Thanks Bryant

+1 Bryant - by using the Local/Context you are introducing some overhead to the process, but eliminating the dependence on DAHDI timing (not that there's anything wrong with that per se, but you can't control the Space Shuttle with a Bearcat Scanner (or can you?) ). From:
