[VoIP] Zaptel end-of-dialing

[Shane Young]

Build your extension with a trailing #

exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Macro(foo)
exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Macro(foo)
exten => _NXXXXXX#,1,Macro(foo)



This will dial immediately after 10 digits
It will wait for addtional digits on the 7th digit and dial after the  
timer expires.

It will dial immediately after 7 digits and the #.

The rest of your logic will need to strip the # off the end, as that  
will be part of the dialed number.

You could do something like
exten => _X.,1,Macro(foo)
exten => _X.#,1,Macro(foo)

This would require one or more digits with no screening of digits  
dialed and will either time out or wait for the # and dial immediately.


I have my dialplan on my home system built in such a way that it  
always knows when correct number of digits is reached, just like a  
normal PSTN swich.

For example, it knows if I dial 612 (my area code) or any other  
"local" NPA (763,651,952) it needs to wait for 7 more digits.
N11 will fire after the second "1"

Any other number beginning with "N" will fire immediately after  
receiving the 7th digits.

Toll calls are always dialed as 1+ and expects 10 digits after the 1.




If I dial 821
