[asterisk-users] Difference between WaitExten and TIMEOUT (response)

[Michael Munger]

The difference is in the scope of the command.

Think of it this way:

WaitExten gives the user more time to enter digits before the dialplan
moves on to the next instruction in the dial plan. Timeout is the max
number of seconds to wait at any point in the current context before
deciding the user either got confused, doesn't know what their doing, or
fell asleep.

Clear as mud?

Hi List;

What is the difference between WaitExten function and
TIMEOUT (response)? As I see that both are used to
determine the allowed time to enter the digits, any
one can advise?

Regards
Bilal
