[Asterisk-Users] Voicetronix OpenLine4: disable answering on a particular channel & delay before dial

2004-01-17 Thread Terence Parker 




Hi there,

After a lot of valuable insights from the list, incoming and outgoing calls finally work through OpenLine4!  Thanks for all the input!

Now I have 2 minor issues:

Sometimes Voicetronix dials too quickly before an actual dial tone is obtained from the phone company.  E.g. Voicetronix picks up a line and then dials immediately, whereas actually it took the phone company may be half a second to actually make the line available to gave a dialtone.  As a result?  90% of the time, the first digit dialed was not received by the phone company.  Is it possible to tell voicetronix to wait a second or two before dialing?

Secondly, I have a phone line plugged into channel 2 that I don't want Asterisk to answer.  I only want ASterisk to use it to dialout.  So I need to configure Asterisk somehow to ignore incoming calls on channel 2.  Is this possible?

Thanks!

Terence

Try to insert a comma "," before the number you dial.

in /etc/asterisk/vpb.conf , before "channel = 2" insert a new context
definition and config extensions.conf to ignore dial in:

vpb.conf:

context = default
channel = 1
context = nodialin
channel = 2

in extensions.conf, insert:

[nodialin]
exten => s,1,Congestion

Hi Daniel,
 
Thanks for your reply - I appreciate it. I will try 
the things you suggested - the suggestion to use a separate context for 
inoming calls on line two seems to be OK. The physical phone line is not plugged 
in at the moment (need to return to the office to do that) but all the other 
tests seem to be ok.
 
I have one question however. You 
say:
    Try to insert a comma "," before the number you 
dial.
 
Considering that my dial string is 
currently:
 
    exten => 
_9.,1,Dial(vpb/1-1/${EXTEN:1})
 
- where would I insert the comma? I have tried 
inserting it before the $ but that didn't seem to make much difference. Would 
the comma be treated by asterisk as a separation of parameters? Or is it 
actually interpreted as a pause?
 
Thanks
 
Terence
