[Asterisk-biz] roadrunner, voip and what is going on with this?

[Jamie Fargen]

What type of ATA's are your clients using? I had a similar problem with 
not seeing the call setup for 10 seconds on my * server after the number 
was dialed. I visited the IRC channel and a TomL promptly gave me some 
advise that allowed me to correct the issue. I am using a PAP2-NA and 
TomL said he had a similar problem on his Sipura ATA which only makes 
sense because Linksys licensed their SIP technology from Sipura. He said 
I needed to change the setting called "Inter" something which I can't 
recall, I just went to each page and did a search for Inter until I 
found some boxes which had an adjustable time. On the PAP2-NA you must 
go through the Admin Login ----> Advanced Settings -----> Regional and 
change the field to Interdigit Long Timer. On the PAP2-NA as well as the 
Sipura model (according to TomL) the default setting is 10 seconds. I 
changed mine to 2.7 seconds which seems to be a very reasonable time 
frame to wait for the last digit of a call to begin. There is another 
field called Interdigit Short Timer does anyone know what this field 
controls?

Thanks
