[Asterisk-Users] Setting auto-attendant to answer immediately
Currently when I call in to my * box it answers after two rings. I'd like for it to answer without ringing. Is this an option somewhere in the dialplan that I'm missing? Thanks, Andrew

I can tell you that on an FXS card you don't typically receive the Caller*ID until the second ring. If you have usecallerid=yes in zapata.conf then the system will what until it recieves caller id before proceding to the dialplan. Hope this helps, Robert Jackson

Greetings, Can you clarify your question for me? Is it that you want the caller to hear no 'ringing' Or Is it that you want the asterisk box to answer faster?

First is if you are getting callerid via a analog phone line or a channelized T1, the callerid spill is between the first and second ring. This means you will only answer after 2 rings. If you don't care for the callerid or you do not subscribe to it, turn it off and that delay will be removed. You also can delay answer by using a wait command. Remove it if it is causing a problem. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>

Thanks to everyone who answered. I had inadvertantly included a wait statement before the answer(), so that is what caused the problem. I must have done this during testing and forgotten about it. Thanks for everyone's help. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Race Vanderdecken Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 13:43 To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Setting auto-attendant to answer immediately Greetings, Can you clarify your question for me?
