asterisk users - Jul 2005 - long pause on dialing..

I have an Asterisk setup with AMP installed.  I have phone extensions
from 7000 to 7010.

I experience long delays when dialing a 9 digit number as opposed to a
10-digit number.  How do you get around not having to press the # key to
speed up the dialing process?  For any length phone number for that
matter-- like dialing another extension.

If I dial 7005, I'll have to wait a while.. but it's instant when I
press  the # key.

Daniel

Greetings,

This may be an artifact of the particular phone you are using.  I know that both
Grandstream and SNOM products allow you to set a timeout for
"auto-dial" (which
is how long to wait after the last button press before dialing the number
present).

I have my units set to three settings:

2 seconds for the receptionist
5 seconds for most everyone else
30 seconds for some of our elder employees who need extra time while
transcribing a phone number

Check your phone settings to see if there is something you can set.

However, there may be something else at fault...

Hi,
it is hard to answer without the right piece of extensions.conf but 
remember there is a digit timeout in Asterisk: you enter 9 digits but in 
the dialplan there is a match for 10 digits so how can Asterisk know if 
you want to call the 9-digits number or the 10-digits? After 9 digits it 
waits for a while...if another digit is dialed then it can call the 
10-digit number otherwise it calls the 9-digits number. You can lower 
Asterisk digit timeout but remember that not all users are so fast to 
dial...
