asterisk users - Dec 2005 - Dialling out with clone X100P board

Hi all :

I need a little help please.

I have a clone X100P board. I have it all set up and working (just 
testing so far) for incoming calls from PSTN.

For outgoing to PSTN I have a strange problem.

I dial out OK, the Zap channel answers the SIP channel ok, (But I do not 
see a Call bridged message, and the call has some strange charateristics.

If I call 123, I can connect to and hear the time clock provided by BT 
(I'm in the UK) Is this 'audio before answer'?)

If I call any other external number, eg my cellphone, it never rings, 
and after 30 secs or so the Zap channel hangs up.

I have been testing this with a very simple Dial(ZAP/1/${EXTEN}) command.

What should I be looking for in my setup?

Many thanks, and happy Christmas to all.

Roger

I had the same problem at first. Try adding a "w" or two before the
${EXTEN}. That makes it wait a little bit before sending the DTMF numbers.

Here is the dial() I'm using:

Dial(ZAP/1/ww${EXTEN})

Try it out and see. Let us know if it works.
