[Asterisk-Users] Caller entered digits ignored during wait....

[Gene Kochanowsky]

I figured it out... This works  -

 

exten => s,1,Wait,1                               ; Wait a second before
answering.

exten => s,2,Answer

exten => s,3,SetVar,"loopCnt=0" 

exten => s,4,Background(welcome)

exten => s,5,SetVar,"loopCnt=$[${loopCnt} + 1]"

exten => s,6,gotoif,"$[${loopCnt} >= 3]?s|7:s|9"

exten => s,7,Background(vm-goodbye)

exten => s,8,Hangup

exten => s,9,Background(parties)

exten => s,10,ResponseTimeout(10)

exten => t,1,Goto,s|5

Greetings,

 

Below is part of the contents of my extensions.conf file. 

 

exten => s,1,Wait,1                               ; Wait a second before
answering.

exten => s,2,Answer

exten => s,3,ResponseTimeout,10                      ; Set the amount of
time the user

                                                            ; has to
make a selection.

exten => s,4,DigitTimeout,5                    ; Set the amount of time
user has

                                                            ; between
each number entry when

                                                            ; dialing an
extension.

exten => s,5,Background(welcome)

exten => s,6,Background(parties)

exten => s,7,Wait(10)

exten => s,8,Background(parties)

exten => s,9,Wait(10)

exten => s,10,Background(vm-goodbye)

exten => s,11,Hangup

 

I can make a menu selection as long as Background is running however
during Wait(10) DTMF digits are ignored. How can I wait for a response
and register the response at the same time? I supposed I could create a
sound file of 10 second duration and play this but that seems kinda like
a hack to me.
