[Asterisk-Users] extension dialing resistivity
Which file control extension dialing responsivity / timing? When someone dial my extension, and is not fast enough, asterisk announces that the extension is not valid (it happened to me too). I have a mixed of two and three digit extensions in dial plan. Which setting controls this behavior. -- #Joseph ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] extension dialing resistivity
Hi Joseph, Let me take a guess - the problem only occurs when dialling four digit extensions? I think you will find that your dial plan is matching the three digit extension and then dialling it straight away - Asterisk won't wait for a timeout before trying to follow the dial plan, as soon as it finds a match it will try and dial whatever you've told it to (whether an extension context exists or not). This means, for example, that if you dialed extension '1234' then Asterisk will try and dial '123' if it finds a matching pattern in the dial plan - even if the extension '123' is invalid. There are two ways around this - either re-configure your dial plan so Asterisk won't get confused between three digit and four digit extensions (starting them in different numbers is a good idea) or configure your SIP phones (assuming you are using SIP phones) not to use forward dialling (i.e. to dial after a pre-set delay. We usually do the latter, as most SIP phones allow you to use the hash key to tell the phone to 'hurry up and dial now'. If you want to get really funky you can also write your dial plan so that it waits for 'n' seconds between each digit, but who could be bothered?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] extension dialing resistivity
I think you are right. I'm using Sipura-3000 which is causing the problem; though I don't know which setting. I just double check my dial-plan and I don't have any sort of conflicts: 123 / 1234 where the first three digit would match any four digit in any dial plan. The problem only occurs when someone dial IN from PSTN line. When I dial very slow internally it works perfectly; but when I dial IN from PSTN line sometime it causes problem. -- #Joseph On Mon, 2005-04-18 at 11:59 +1200, Damian Funnell wrote: Hi Joseph, Let me take a guess - the problem only occurs when dialling four digit extensions?
