TIMEOUT is to set the default timeout for promtps in IVR and stuff but is not actually waiting for you to provide an extension -- Michiel van Baak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://michiel.vanbaak.eu GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x71C946BD "Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?" ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] Difference between WaitExten and TIMEOUT (response)
Dear Michael; I understood it in that way (please advise me if I am correct): WaitExten is for the time to complete entering the digits, while timeout is specified wether user responded by dialing any thing or not. Please advise. regards The difference is in the scope of the command. Think of it this way: WaitExten gives the user more time to enter digits before the dialplan moves on to the next instruction in the dial plan. Timeout is the max number of seconds to wait at any point in the current context before deciding the user either got confused, doesn't know what their doing, or fell asleep. Clear as mud?
