[asterisk-users] Blind transfer 3/4 digits

Mon Sep 4 17:40:33 MST 2006

Please excuse the top-posting.

In features.conf, uncomment transferdigittimeout and adjust its timing as desired.  You may also want to uncomment and adjust featuredigittimeout to a higher value as well.  Also, since the dialplan does first match, you can eliminate the problem by putting the 4 digit extensions before the 3 digit extensions in the dialplan.

See the "match as you go" section at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+Extension+Matching

David,

I am not sure how the explanation how to punch the keys changes 
something, .... ;-.)

Ok, here we go:

Snom:
pick up the phone and hit ##6014 followed by [ok]

Noname:
pick up the phone and hit ##6014     must be pushed very fast!!! No end 
# needed, since the phone 601 starts to ring as soon I reach 1.

In my opinion Asterisk remembers all numbers and therefore it does not 
wait for the 4, since it found a match. This is in VoIP (in my opinion) 
wrong, since overlapping numbers are allowed.

Sip message / dtmf, this is something different! How is the transfer 
made? Maybe snom does send a sip message, while the noname only send 
dtmf tones.

bye

Ronald
