[Asterisk-Users] PRI Channel Question

[Ronald Hartmann]

Good Day All,

	I am experiencing some weirdness using the E&M channel and hope
you can offer a little assistance with the problem I am having.

1) call comes into channel 25 (Second Span first channel of a Digium
Quad PRI from SBC-PRI)
2) Call is sent to channel 1 (First Span first channel on the Digium
Quad PRI connecting an ADTRAN via E&M Feature Group D)
3) Between rings one and two the DNIS and ANI is sent then the unit
answers the call.

I barge into channel 25 and listen in on phone 1
I Barge into Channel 1 and listen in on phone 2

PHONE 1 )While listening in to Channel 25 I get the following:

	1) I hear two rings 
	2) I hear the IVR System on channel 1 answer the call
	3) I hear the IVR System request the account code 
	3) I hear the remote unit send (16 DTMF CODES RAPIDLY within a 2
seconds)

Phone 2) While listening in to channel 1 I get the following

	1) I hear the IVR System answer the call
	2) I hear the IVR System request the account code
		(note the above 2 things were heard simultaneously with
phone 1)
	3) I hear the DTMF (account Code) come in however it takes many
seconds longer than what was heard on Phone 1
		Phone 1 hears 3 sets of DTMF Codes before Phone 2 hears
even the initial 16 digits (the remote unit sends the codes 3 times if
there is no response after each attempt) 

The problem is that the IVR System expects these DTMF Codes with the
initial 2 seconds.

The DTMF Tones from the outside caller are heard appropriately on the
inbound channel (25), however when we (bridge them) to Channel 1 the
tones are 
heard much slower causing the IVR system to refuse the caller.

MAtt, I am trying to figure out how or where asterisk is messing with
these codes?  

Here are my settings 

[zapata.conf]

Configuration is 2 incoming PRI's (spans 2 & 3)
T1 E&M connection to an Adtran TA624 using Feature group D. connecting
in my IVR System.
