[Asterisk-Users] Immediate response dial

Thu, 08 Sep 2005 05:39:11 -0700


Would like to be able to do the following, which is typical of an internal setup:

  • On handset pickup get some kind of internal dial tone (probably user defined in indications.conf)
  • Pressing 9, for dialing an external line, to immediately switch to the PSTN dial tone.
  • continue with dialing the external number
Of course I also want to be able to dial numbers, such as internal extensions, etc.

the typical dial plan for outgoing extens  is like:
ingorepat => 9
exten => _9.,1,Dial(Channel/${EXTEN:1})      or similar matching pattern
but this doesn't switch the tone. The obvious choice of using
exten => 9,1,Playtones(pstn)
exten => 9,2,Goto(outgoing)
doesn't work, because * waits for digitTimeout seconds after the 9 is pressed, so the tone switch is not immediate.
Plus I'm not so sure how continued dialing can be handled.

Any suggestions?
