We use<br><br>SetVar(TIMEOUT(digit)=8)<br><br>In our dialplan to make sure that the user is done dialing before Asterisk<br>executes the call. I just recently came across the piece I've copied below.<br>It says for new incoming ZAP connections, the default digit timeout is 3
<br>seconds and can only be configured in the source code.<br><br>Is that true????<br><br>============<br><br>How long will Asterisk wait?<br>(<a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Extension+Matching">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Extension+Matching
</a>)<br><br>How long Asterisk will wait for more digits, before giving up and processing<br>the number as dialed so far, depends on two factors. First of all, it<br>depends on whether this is a new incoming connection or an established
<br>connection.<br><br>* New incoming connections are those where Asterisk has not started<br>processing any Dialplan commands for the call yet. For Zap channels, this<br>means that someone has lifted the handset and started dialing a number, and
<br>Asterisk is processing each digit as the user dials it, to determine which<br>extension in the Dialplan to go first.<br><br><br>* For new incoming connections, the second factor affecting how long<br>Asterisk waits for more digits before giving up is the type of channel that
<br>the call is coming in on. Each channel type determines its own timeout<br>period. The Zap channel has a fixed timeout period of 3 seconds, and this<br>can not be changed without modifying the source code and recompiling the Zap
<br>module.<br><br>Asterisk-Users mailing list<br>To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit:<br> <a href="http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users">http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users</a>
