Imagine this:

[fnord-context]

exten => 1,1,Noop(Selection 1)

exten => 2,1,Noop(Selection 2)

exten => 3,1,Noop(Selection 3)

exten => 4,1,Noop(Selection 4)

exten => _XXX,1,Noop(Wants to call ${EXTEN})

When you dial option 2 how does Asterisk know you don't want to call extension 200? In the above example it doesn't. It will wait for DigitTimeout before processing continues.

I suspect you have something similar in your dialplan.

Everything works fine except when you enter your option there is a 7 or 8 second pause before the next step is taken in the dial plan. I assume it's waiting to see if I'm going to dial more digits, but is there a way to reduce this delay?


Yes, don't have overlapping extensions. i.e. either don't have an option 7 or 8 or don't number your extensions starting with 7 or 8

I don't actually have an option 7 or 8.....I was attempting to say that there is a 7-8 second pause after selecting your option.
