asterisk users - Apr 2003 - Tor2 with em_w (or em) signalling pickup behavior?

Hi,

Can I make e&m wink start lines just wait for digits - instead of going to
default?

Someone else cleared a similar problem (as described below) on an fxo port
with "usecallerid => no" but it is not doing the trick for me. In
this case
the line when straight to default which would be ok also.

I posted the stuff below about a week ago...

I set up a t1 from my sys75 to asterisk. After much experimentation I got it
to work as e&m wink start. If dialing the trunk access code from the sys75
(a 5 - this is stripped on the s75), asterisk picks up and provides dial
tone immediately. Here is the problem, after about 3 seconds that line
switches into s,1 of the default context.

If I dial (5)1234 very fast - before the switch to default, the call works
fine.

    -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/37-1'
    -- Executing Dial("Zap/37-1", "Zap/22|30") in new stack
    -- Called 22
    -- Zap/22-1 is ringing

...or if I dial (5) then wait until after asterisk switches to default and
then dial 1303, the call also works fine (the previous block of messages is
preceded by all the normal default context messages).

If the switch occurs while dialing (5)1234 the string gets truncated and the
an invalid extension is dialed and the 'not in service' message plays.

    -- Hungup 'Zap/37-1'
    -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/36-1'
  == Unknown extension '12' in context 'default' requested
    -- Playing 'ss-noservice'

...depending on how fast I dial the unknown ext will be '1',
'12' or '123'.

A related thing happens when calling in from fxo - it rings ~2 times before
asterisk answers and the call goes into default. Does anyone know how to
change this behavior and either make it go to default immediately or
determine the wait time (like eliminate it)?

Are you saying that your e&m link doesn't send incoming number ?

You might try to add
immediate=yes
just before

channel => 25-48

then the call flow will start from
default|s|1

Now did you also try signalling=em ?

It should already wait for digits, but there is a timeout, so if digits
aren't received within a few seconds, it will start with "s"
instead.

If you need assistance and assuming you purchased your card from Digium,
you may call us toll free at 877-546-8963 (877-LINUX-ME) for free
installation support, which would include getting asterisk talking to your
switch.
