 Now, what happens:

 So far so fine, expected behaviour.
 
 Call for 95562315 reaches capi-in and is executed direct, the include
 directive isn't executed at all!
 Why?
 Through the include statement, asterisk has to look first in capi-in-sub,
 there it should
 find this extension:
 exten = 95562315,1,DoSomethingAnybodyWouldExpect()
 ...
 
 and follow the dialplan under capi-in-sub since a valid extension was found.
 
 What's wrong, any ideas?

This is a very popular misconception regarding include statements, so
let me try to reiterate how includes work.

When a call comes into a particular context, Asterisk looks for the
following items:

1) Exact matches in the current context.  If a match is found, Asterisk
will not continue searching.
2) Pattern matches in the current context.  If at least one pattern
match is found that matches the dialed extension, Asterisk will not
continue searching (even if a better match is included .
3) Any switch = statements.  These can be used for remote dialplan
lookups, realtime dialplan lookups, DUNDi, etc.  If Asterisk finds at
least one match, it will not continue searching.
4) Any included contexts.  These will be followed in order, and for each
included context, this same list will be applied.

In your example above, you somehow assumed that the included context
would be searched, even though Asterisk already found a match in the
current context.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk parking hold and transferdigittimeout

2008-03-25 Thread Guido Hecken
Hi,
 
anyone out there with the same problems and a possible solution to the
following?
 
The functions callparking and hold use the same transferdigittimeout in
features.conf.
While I think 3 to 5 seconds are enough to let the user find their keys on
the phone,
the double ammount of time ( 2 x 5 secs) you have to wait before a call is
parked and 
the parkposition is announced, is really too long.
Did I miss something in the documentation?

We are using SVN-branch-1.4-r96449.

It seems that the dialplan comes into play.  If your parking lot is 700, 
and you have any extension patterns that COULD begin with that, then 
asterisk will wait to make SURE you're not typing 700:

Let's say that 700 is my parking lot extension.

exten = _NXXNXX,1,blahblahblah

This could match 7005551212, so asterisk waits around to make sure I'm 
not trying to find any more buttons before it accepts that I meant 700.  
As an example, if your parking lot extension was **, then asterisk could 
be pretty darn sure that that won't match anything else, and will accept 
it directly as a number to transfer too.
