RE: [Asterisk-Users] Wait for X rings before answering?
Create a ring group, put all the extensions into the ring group, set your dialplan to go to the ring group first and then failover to a voicemail extension. -Kerry -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Whitten Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 8:20 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wait for X rings before answering?

If you need more rings, increase 25 (that is in seconds, more or less). Regards.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wait for X rings before answering?
I realize that it's a timeout but what's implicit in that is that Asterisk can't detect # of rings just the amount of time spent ringing? I have been looking at the reference manual on asteriskguru.com. They say it's a timeout but they don't indicate the units. Is it milliseconds, microseconds or seconds?

you could also declare some variables too..

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wait for X rings before answering?
That's seconds. To get a certain number of rings, just find out the total cycle time for the ring cadence you're using, then multiply by the number of rings you want. For example, the US ring cadence is 2 on, 4 off[, repeat]. So the total time is 6 seconds per ring. For 4 rings, use 4x6=24.

I have been looking at the reference manual on asteriskguru.com. They say it's a timeout but they don't indicate the units. Is it milliseconds, microseconds or seconds? Just for the lazy one, here is the link to the DIAL command http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+dial and extracted from it about the timeout The timeout parameter is optional. If not specifed, the Dial command will wait indefinitely, exiting only when the originating channel hangs up, or all the dialed channels return a busy or error condition. Otherwise it specifies a maximum time, in seconds, that the Dial command is to wait for a channel to answer. (Critch where are you?) Yes !

Re: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wait for X rings before answering?
Most telcos (and I assume this is true in AU as well) have a standard right cycle in the CO. In the US, its something like 6 seconds. What a telephone instrument does in terms of ringing has nothing to do with it. It can play songs, show a video, or whatever. If you have callerid configured, then asterisk will consume one ring cycle looking for the callerid _before_ it jumps to extensions.conf context. But, from a user perspective, they still hear ringback even though you don't have any phones ringing as yet. Calculate accordingly. We found that different phones and even different rings on the same phone had different timimgs. For example, one phone would ring every 2 seconds and another would ring every 3.
