[Asterisk-Users] Delay after entering digits with IVR

[Race Vanderdecken]

Hmmm,

Are you trying to collect digits during a playback that is not set to
listen for a digit?

>From the coding side I know that depending on how the prompt is called
you can enter a digit and "interrupt" the prompt. Otherwise the prompt
will finish and then "see" the digits.

What you want is BackgroundDetect(filename[|sil[|min|max]])

ct

This will see the digits, and stop if it is one you have set.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Delay after entering digits with IVR

I have a [start] context that all my inbound and '0' calls are routed
into.

Because of the way I want to set my system up, I want to prompt the user
to enter a 1 if they know the extension, or a 2 for a directory and
nothing else.

It works, however there is a 5 to 10 second delay after enter the 1 or 2
before the system responds.

I have read over the wiki on how asterisk handles digit inputs, but
cannot seem to isolate the problem. No other extension beginning with 
(or even including) a '1' or a '2'.

Is this just how the system operates, or am I missing something..?

Thanks !!



Here is the [start] in my extensions.conf :

[start]
; If someone dials the Operator, just start them here.
exten => 0,1,Goto(s,1)

exten => s,1,Wait,1                     ; Wait a second, just for fun
exten => s,2,Answer                     ; Answer the line
exten => s,3,SetMusicOnHold,default
exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout,5         ; Set Response Timeout

; Is is Morning, Afternoon or Evening ?
; Lets play a differnet greeting for each time period.
exten => s,5,AGI(openclose.agi)
exten => s,6,GotoIF($[${STATUS} = morning]?10)
exten => s,7,GotoIF($[${STATUS} = afternoon]?12)
exten => s,8,GotoIF($[${STATUS} = evening]?14)
extex => s,9,Goto(s,6)

; The various Greetings based on Time of Day
exten => s,10,Background(rjs-morning-welcome)

exten => s,12,Background(rjs-afternoon-welcome)

exten => s,16,Wait,1
exten => s,17,BackGround(to-dial-by-name-press)  ; Play some
instructions
exten => s,18,BackGround(digits/2)  ; Play some instructions

; A timeout and "invalid extension rule"
;
exten => t,1,Goto(s,15)                  ; If they take too long, give
up
exten => i,1,Playback(invalid)          ; "That's not valid, try again"

; If they know the extension, send them on.
exten => 1,1,Goto(extension_is_known,s,1)

; Allow users the ability to get Directory listing (user must be in
voicemail.conf)
exten => 2,1,Directory,default|internal_extensions
