asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Sipua SPA-2000 and liong delay after dialling number

When I use an analog phone connected to a Sipura SPA-2000 it takes about 
3-4 seconds before the number is actually dialled.
Very annoying especially if you are connecting an intercom to it.

Can I change this behaviour and do I need to look at * config or the 
config of the SPA-2000?

Thanks!

The "delay" is a time out.  The SPA does not know how many numbers it 
is expecting before it has a complete number for your system.  The 
invite message is sent as a single message to asterisk containing the 
whole number string, as apposed to each number individually.

In simple terms you have 2 options at your disposal :

a)  encorage users to adopt pressing gate / pound / hash (the noughts 
and crosses board above "9" on the keypad - i cant belive this
keyboard
doesn't have the symbol ;)  at the end of the last digit - this in the 
sipura (like 99% of telephony devices) is treated as a send / 
termination / enter instruction and sends the instruction (invite 
message) to asterisk immediatly

Note this only applies if your using a touch-tone / dtmf (dual-tone 
multi-frequency) enabled hand set.

b) edit the dial plan of the sipura, to instruct the device of your 
dial plan, so that it understands how your system is configured.  It is 
sensitve enough to understand that numbers like 999 / 112 / 911 are 
only 3 digits when national dialing is a greater length.

For assitance with that google for spa-2000 user guide, which contains 
examples or contact me with further information of your set up

Hope this helps.

Simply dial a # after the number.

understood - I use the # sign as well, but some users are not used to
using the # sign so decreasing the timer helps those that may forget
to use the # key.
