We use SetVar(TIMEOUT(digit)=8)
In our dialplan to make sure that the user is done dialing before Asterisk executes the call. I just recently came across the piece I've copied below. It says for new incoming ZAP connections, the default digit timeout is 3 seconds and can only be configured in the source code. Is that true???? ============ How long will Asterisk wait? (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Extension+Matching) How long Asterisk will wait for more digits, before giving up and processing the number as dialed so far, depends on two factors. First of all, it depends on whether this is a new incoming connection or an established connection. * New incoming connections are those where Asterisk has not started processing any Dialplan commands for the call yet. For Zap channels, this means that someone has lifted the handset and started dialing a number, and Asterisk is processing each digit as the user dials it, to determine which extension in the Dialplan to go first. * For new incoming connections, the second factor affecting how long Asterisk waits for more digits before giving up is the type of channel that the call is coming in on. Each channel type determines its own timeout period. The Zap channel has a fixed timeout period of 3 seconds, and this can not be changed without modifying the source code and recompiling the Zap module. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
