Jon, * scans through the valid extension in the context every time the user enter a digit. If you only have single digit extensions, dialing 2 is definitive and * can jump to that extension without waiting for further digits. But if you have 2 and 200 defined, a single 2 is ambiguous and asterisk will wait for further digits until the DigitTimeout expires (as Matthew said, good idea to set it to something low; default is 10 seconds I think). But if you dial 200 it's definitive again and there is no need to wait further; this obviously doesn't work with open-end patterns.
That's the different/advantage but both setups work. Hope that clarifies things. --Luki _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
