into an issue with my Polycom 501 and Asterisk.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=640262818-08092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I realized, after
much mucking around, that when I dial a number (and press the send key) that is
invalid , but could still match an Asterisk pattern (example: I dial 567, which
is not a valid extension, but my diaplan accepts _567XXXX as a pattern) instead
of sending the call as is and ultimately failing, the phone is "intelligent
enough" to sit and wait for extra digits in case I meant to dial
567111.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=640262818-08092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now thats a problem
for me. How can I make Asterisk (or the 501) treat the attempted extension
567 as a valid try and let Asterisk handle the error ?(instead of the phone
trying to do what it think is best and handling the error on it's
own).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=640262818-08092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there an Asterisk
setting for that?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=640262818-08092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Failing that, is
there a Polycom setting to disable this "intelligent" error
handling?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
