[Asterisk-Users] Don't want a ring before voice menu

[Brett Nemeroff]

John,
If your FXS lines are ringing, it's because your dialplan spells out
that the line is to ring. If you don't want it to ring, don't Dial that
Zap line. 

Otherwise.... If you have an analog phone attached to the same line as
the FXO card, you will always hear some amount of ring. Since there is
no comprehensive signalling method, the only way Asterisk knows that an
analog phone is ringing is to.. Well.. Let it ring and detect that it is
happening.

I should have been clearer in my description of the scenario.

What I have is an FXO port connected to an analog line, with 3 FXS
extensions. With an incoming call, the phone connected to one of the FXS
ports will ring once before  kicking in to the voice menu. Eventually,
say when the caller presses "0", the call is routed to that extension
and the phone rings again the way I've configured it to.

Ideally, we would rather not hear the extension ring at all the first
time.

In short, all incoming calls ring to the extension before the caller
gets presented with a voice menu. For now, I've told the receptionist
(the person at that extension) to just let it ring.

I hope this is somewhat clearer....
