Hello.
Considering the following setup:
Legacy PBX --(ISDN)--> Asterisk --(MFC/R2)--> PSTN
When a user dials out, Asterisk receive overlap digits, matches them to an
extension and dial the PSTN, completing the call. So far so good.
The issue I'm trying to solve (or at least improve) is the call takes much
longer to complete than the users were used to before having Asterisk between
the PBX and the PSTN. It happens because the digits are sent to the PSTN only
after the extension is matched in the dialplan, and dialing on MFC/R2 takes a
few seconds.
Here's the console log. Notice how it takes 6 seconds from the instant the user
starts dialing to the instant the dialed number starts to ring. First 3 seconds
is the user manually dialing plus Asterisk absolute timeout. Next 3 seconds are
the time Asterisk takes to dial the number to the PSTN and the call be accepted.
[Apr 26 10:57:13] -- Accepting overlap call from '7416' to '<unspecified>'
on channel 0/1, span 2
[Apr 26 10:57:13] -- Starting simple switch on 'DAHDI/32-1'
*** User finished dialing + Asterisk absolute timeout ***
[Apr 26 10:57:16] -- Executing [0145333114657@pbx:1] Answer("DAHDI/33-1",
"") in new stack
[Apr 26 10:57:16] -- Executing [0145333114657@pbx:2] Dial("DAHDI/33-1",
"DAHDI/g1/0145333114657") in new stack
[Apr 26 10:57:16] -- Called g1/0145333114657
*** Asterisk starts dialing to the PSTN ***
[Apr 26 10:57:19] MFC/R2 call has been accepted on forward channel 1
[Apr 26 10:57:19] -- DAHDI/1-1 is ringing
*** Dialed number finally rings ***
So my question is: is there a way to fully overlap the digits from the user's
phone on the PBX (ISDN) to the PSTN (MFC/R2), eliminating the need to wait for
an extension to be matched? I already have overlapdial=yes in both spans, but
that didn't made it. Also googled for it, even searched this list archives but
found nothing.
