No I couldn't get D to work, I was getting fed up with this so for the hell of it I just put a bunch of w's in the middle of the dial string and low and behold it worked. i.e.

exten => 109,1,Dial(Zap/g1/6525798wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww109|30|r)

With this many w's it takes ~ 3 rings for our other phone system to pick up and tell me that it is transferring me to the desired extension on that system.

How did you finally get this working?

Would you be kind enough to post the dial string to the group or send to
me.

Ws it D option that worked?

I did some searching and haven't found a solution to my problem. But right now we are performing a transition from an old system to a new system using asterisk and only a few people are on the new system and testing it out. Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to dial a phone number with asterisk, and then after that callee picks up to dial an extension?

In one forum message I found that you could use 'w' in the dial string





to act as a half second wait. I tried doing:
exten => 109,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/6525798wwwwww109)
This would dial the other phone system, but would not wait 3 seconds til the other system answered and then dial the extension.

I also tried using:
exten => 109,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/6525798|D(109)) But this did the same thing





as the above.

Is there another way to dial a number then on the same channel send 3 more digits after the other party answers? Thanks.




The D() option is the "correct" way to do it, but only works if your Zap interface can tell when the remote party answers. Typically, digital lines (ISDN, T1, E1) can tell, but analogue lines can't.

Cheers

Is there a way to determine if the zap interface is able to know when
the other party picks up? It is connected to analog lines by the way. Also, is there a way that might not be as "correct" but would none the
less still work? Thanks.
