Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to configure asterisk to pick-up immediatly. I already had a look on the wiki and google the lists ... I was experimenting around a lot but still my phone rings exactly 4 times (always) before * answers it. Anybody has an idea - or maybe sth. I just wrapped? My Hardware: TDM400P PCI FXS, X100P PCI FXO ----extensions.conf---- exten => s,1,Answer exten => s,2,setmusiconhold,default exten => s,3,responsetimeout,10 exten => s,4,DigitTimeout,5 exten => s,5,Goto,language_menu|s|1 ---zapata.conf---- immediate=yes Cheers Ralf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

AFAIK Asterisk picks up the ringing by detecting a number of "swings" on the line.. It can be adjusted but if it is made any lower you end up getting lots of "phantom" calls where Asterisk will start to ring you extensions but there is not actually a call coming in.. If you switch to a digital line (BRI or PRI) then there is actually a signal sent to asterisk to tell it that a call is about to com in and so it will respond immediately.. Later..
