Subject: [asterisk-users] Correct operation of timout parameter for dial 
application

Hi All,

I'd just like to verify what the correct operation of the timeout parameter is 
for the dial application. I'm not sure if I've encountered a bug or a 
configuration issue.

When a sip phone is not responding to invites on an outbound call, the dial 
application still waits the duration of timeout before continuing with dialplan 
execution. I was under the impression that app_dial would timeout on the 
signalling prior to the timeout parameter specified in the dial parameter.

For example, consider the following dialplan:

exten => 111,1),Dial(SIP/phone1,30,tg)
exten => 111,n,NoOp(DialStatus=${DIALSTATUS})
exten => 111,n,GotoIf($[${DIALSTATUS} = CHANUNAVAIL]?unavail)
exten => 111,n,GotoIf($[${DIALSTATUS} = NOANSWER]?unavail)
exten => 111,n,GotoIf($[${DIALSTATUS} = BUSY]?busy)
exten => 111,n,GotoIf($[${DIALSTATUS} = CONGESTION]?busy)
exten => 111,n(unavail), Goto(voice-mail,vmu-phone1,1)
exten => 111,n(busy), Goto(voice-mail,vmb-phone1,1)

Under normal operation the originating caller is passed through to voicemail. 
However, if/when the device is not responding to invites, for whatever reason, 
the dial application waits 30 seconds before setting the DIALSTATUS to 
NOANSWER. Is this expected behaviour? In previous versions of asterisk, 
specifically (v1.2/v1.4) when the device did not respond to invites the dial 
application exited prior to the value specified by timeout.

Can anyone clarify this issue for me please? Is this expected behaviour?

We are currently running v1.6.2.13

Thanks
Bruce
