[Asterisk-Users] Delays in IVR

[Eric "ManxPower" Wieling]

Imagine this:

[fnord-context]

exten => 1,1,Noop(Selection 1)

exten => 2,1,Noop(Selection 2)

exten => 3,1,Noop(Selection 3)

exten => 4,1,Noop(Selection 4)

exten => _XXX,1,Noop(Wants to call ${EXTEN})

When you dial option 2 how does Asterisk know you don't want to call 
extension 200?  In the above example it doesn't.  It will wait for 
DigitTimeout before processing continues.

I suspect you have something similar in your dialplan.
