In North America, a 3 second timeout is very common in the PSTN. That is just long enough that people are rarely tripped by it accidentally, but short enough that people do not become hysterical waiting for it to happen. On the other hand, SIP phones usually have an end-of-dial button, so the timeout is far less important than traditional phones. (And the conventions may be different in other regions.) But that is not very important... In regard to the "digit map" setting, the first question is whether you understand how the digit map works. If you aren't prepared to edit the digit map to match your particular PBX's dial plan, you should avoid using it. (The GUI may give you a "suggested setting", but unfortunately, that is a constant string -- it isn't affected by the real dial plan at all. There have been suggestions that sipXconfigure construct a proper digit map string based on the dial plan, but that would require work that we haven't had time for yet.) In your particular problem, like most SIP problems, the best way to attack it is to examine one particular failure case. You say "I have tried dialing numbers and it does not seem to work.", but that gives us no information as to what you did try, and so it's incredibly hard to guess what might not be working. What did you try? What happened? Why do you think that was wrong? > I hate these kind of questions and thought maybe it would be nice to > have a novice sipxuser forum to accompany this one to allow for more > basic level of discussions and understanding. Your question is certainly not the most naive question that has been asked.
