asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Inter-digit timers on t100

Hello all-

So I have * up and running and connected to a legacy system via em_w lines
and have no trouble dialing from * through the tie line but from the PBX
across the tie line I am having intermittant receipt of the DTMF.  T-Berd
testing is showing that the digits are coming across but * is either missing
the first digit consistantly.

This seems to me to have something to do with start timers or inter-digit
dtmf timers or something.

I have even tied 2 * together each with t100 cards and have the same
problem.

Not sure how to proceed, any suggestions?

I had nearly the same issue between * and an nec pbx. The only way I
could get around it was to either make the number a speed dial, or tell
the users if the call failed to use the redial button on their phones.
However * had issues with the last digits, not the first.

The wiki has a section on the inter digit timers, but all the examples
I've seen are confined to incoming calls to voicemail.

For the inbound digit problem try adding :

 debounce=50                     ; Needed to reduce the initial off hook
debounce

in the relevant context for those trunks in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf

Also, are you using 'immediate=yes'?
