[Asterisk-Users] IVR woes

Hello all.  I'm having a problem debugging an IVR I'm building.  I
can't see any reason this shouldn't be working.
Firstly the asterisk version is:

Asterisk SVN-trunk-r7230 built by root @ localhost.localdomain on a i686 running
Linux on 2006-02-17 22:44:48 UTC

Basically the problem is this.  While the playbacks are happening you can push
any one of the options and to happily
goes off and does it.  However, if you wait until the messages stop playing back
it just hangs up with the error at the
bottome of this message.

Any help in finding a solution to this werid problem would be greatly
appreciated.

The IVR context and console logs are:

[lcl-ivr-main]
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
; This is the main number IVR menu system
;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[Asterisk-Users] IVR woes

Hmm... Wouldn't you just place something in t,1,
To catch the timeout event and loop back to the top of the IVR?

Sean,

Thanks I've made those changes but still the same problem.  The call
falls through if nothing is pushed.

    -- Executing Set("IAX2/rob-6", "TIMEOUT(digit)=5") in
new stack
    -- Digit timeout set to 5
    -- Executing Set("IAX2/rob-6", "TIMEOUT(response)=30")
in new stack
    -- Response timeout set to 30
  == Auto fallthrough, channel 'IAX2/rob-6' status is 'UNKNOWN'
    -- Hungup 'IAX2/rob-6'

The hangup is still asterisk dropping the call.

perhaps placing Set(TIMEOUT(response)=XXX) and Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=YYY) at 
the top of the dialplan would help better. also, bear in mind that these 
timeouts have to be longer than the time it takes for your IVR voice files 
to play to be of any good use.

[Asterisk-Users] IVR woes

The magic command you want is 'WaitExten' - 'show application
waitexten'
on the asterisk command line. 'show applications' is also a good one.
