Hi all, been searching & not finding an answer to this, although I'm guessing it's absurdly simple... I just hooked up a T1 to our * box (1.2.0), which had been using POTS lines via a channel bank.. Now when I call the new T1 circuit, there are no rings, the Autoattendant just picks up right away.. Any clue on how to make it ring twice before getting picked up? I tried immedate=no and some other zapata.conf tweaks, but nothing seems to work. I also tinkered with adding some wait statements before the 'answer' but only heard silence & then the attendant..sorry for such a basic question.. I guess I'm just not punching in the right search terms in my queries. Thx in advance

Of course, if you're on a T1, why would you want to artificially delay the calling party's access to the auto-attendant? -- Strom Carlson http://www.stromcarlson.com/
We have an in house pbx that rings through to asterisk with auto attendant asking for a password. It goes much too quickly to be comfortable so I had to delay it 2 seconds before starting the auto attendant. Folks like to dial their speaker phone then lift the handset. During the phone base to ear time they were loosing the password prompt! I don't ring it though, just pause with silence. It works out similar to a PSTN call.

Thanks, will try this... I actually don't really want to delay incoming calls before the attendant, but it seems to take about 7-10 seconds from the time I dial until the AA picks up, without a ring, it just sounds odd, like the call didn't go through...so I wanted to experiment with trying to add some kind of ringing sound...we'll see if this is actually a good idea or not when I mod this tonight.
