[Asterisk-Users] Dial command problems

[Michael Little]

I am still testing Asterisk, but I am running in to a lot of problems.
I set up numerous extensions, but Asterisk is not performing to tasks
correctly.  Here is an example.

exten => 231,1,Dial(Zap/g1/231|3)
exten => 231,2,Voicemail(u231)
exten => 231,3,Hangup

When I call in and enter extension 231, my call is routed to the correct
extension, but it just keeps ringing.

If I change the line to read exten => 231,1,Dial(Zap/g1/231|2) it will
ring once (2000 ms) and go to voicemail, but if I change the timeout to
anything greater than 2 it never rolls to voicemail.


I am attempting to configure Asterisk as a voicemail and automated
attendant solution.  It will be connected to a Toshiba Strata PBX.

Assistance is greatly appreciated.
