If I recall, using the Polycom transfer, you have to make sure it is done as
a blind transfer.  The Polycom attended transfer (default) option does not
work.

This would be a matter of flags in your dial command.  the 't' option
assures that the receiving leg of the call can transfer, while the 'T'
option allows the caller to transfer.  If you do decide to use the 'T'
flag
on outgoing calls, you may want to change your transfer option to something
other than '#' (maybe '##' instead), otherwise people using IVR
systems (for
banks, calling cards, etc) will be unable to "press pound" without
initiating a transfer.

How is this configured?  That is, how do I configure the Polycom's transfer 
button to be a blind transfer?

Hi All,

I am running Asterisk@home with Digium TDM400 card with FXO modules plugged
to PSTN lines.

I am currently experiencing a delay in ringing by around 12 seconds.

Is there something I need to adjust in the dial plan for this?
