If you need more rings, increase 25 (that is in seconds, more or less). Regards. El vie, 09-12-2005 a las 11:41 -0500, Robert La Ferla escribió: Derek Whitten wrote: [incoming] exten = s,1,Dial(SIP/myextSIP/myext1SIP/myext2,25,t,r) exten = s,2,Voicemail(myext) exten = s,3,Hangup()

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,

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. On

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,
