this doesn't work - as soon as the call is handled by an extension it is 'accepted' - but the call should be prolonged _before_ it is 'accepted'. the zap-channel should not connect a incoming call before a given timeframe has elapsed. currently my asterisk configuration only accepts ddi's in 'blocked' form, a phone has to send the whole ddi at once, only then asterisk receives the whole number and i can process it in my dialplan. in austria a official voip-numbers have 10 ciphers (national format), e.g. 0720012345. when i dial a ddi, e.g. 0720012345999 from a standard simple pstn-phone, only the first 10 digits are received by asterisk, the attached direct dial 999 is not. my telco told me to hold the call for 5 seconds before accepting, so all numbers can be transmitted. of course this doesn't work if i only add a wait-extension. btw: the telco says they can only configure a min and a max number of ciphers they accept, i think this setting currently ranges from minimum 4 to maximum 15 ciphers.
i guess this should/could be configured at the zapata side of asterisk, but i have no idea how and where. that's why i'm asking(and i hope i described the issue comprehensible) ;-) all other proposals on how to receive ddi's are very welcome of course. and yes, you can assume that i don't understand the pstn-concept ;-) best regards christian On Tue, 27 Sep 2005 12:39:32 -0800 Innocent Evil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Why don't you write a couple of lines AGI scripts that will call asterisk > command WAIT(5) > > Thankx > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 13:42:31 +0200 > > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] wait before accepting the call > > > > hello! > > > > i'm looking for a way to prolonge a pstn-call for 5 seconds before it > > enters the extensions.conf. this is for testing purposes, all numbers > > of a ddi should be received by asterisk before the call is walking > > through the extensions. how can i achive this? i've not seen a feature > > like this for zapata or zaptel, does anyone have an idea how this could > > be done? > > > > thx > > christian > > _______________________________________________ > > --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- > > > > Asterisk-Users mailing list > > Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com > > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > > > > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users_______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- > > Asterisk-Users mailing list > Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
