asterisk users - Mar 2010 - Asterisk general Timeout for digits

Hi Guys,

I have a need to alter the general timeout in Asterisk. I am wondering if
this is something that is hard coded into Asterisk code or if there is a
parameter that can be set somewhere.

For outbound, I am using x. and hence unless I append a # sign, I would have
to wait maybe 5 seconds or so for the call to go through. Is there anywhere
in Asterisk that I can change this 5 seconds to let's say 1 second? I
understand that there might be the risk of dialing the number unfinished but
that's okay with me. Also, for my situation, I can't use
specific dial-plans so please guide me to the general timeout parameter if
it exists.

Thanks,
Bruce

You really do need to give us a snippet of the outbound code.

As soon as the dialed number matches one of the dial patterns defined in
extensions.conf or its included files, asterisk starts dialing it. The wait
you have is probably from the trunk provider's side because by default
asterisk doesn't start playing the ring tone unless it gets acknoledgement
from the provider's side indicating that the call is successfully going
through.

But even before the above process starts, sip soft phones have their own
dialing patterns and timeout values. As soon as your dialed number matches
one of them, it is sent to asterisk which does the above. So first you'll
have to check your sip phone's dialout pattern and timeout values.

Seems like pattern matching needs to be fixed in some config file. Can you
give example of a number you dial?

Thanks for the input. I am using A2Billing and it takes long time to
authenticate PIN number and to dial destination number. If # sign is used
then it's a different story and it goes through quick.
