Hardware:
Cisco 7960 (sip firmware)
SpoTel® TDM1600Pv2 (Version 2) 8 port FXO/FXS card
the PC is a dual core with an SSD (pretty sure it’s performance is not an issue)
I can dial from extension to extension instantly (IE 201, dial, ring)
However, when I dial to outside lines:
NNNNNNNNNN dial, proceeding (100) for about 2 seconds, then the counter on the phone gets to 6 seconds before it starts ringing.
Is this normal? is there anything I can do to improve the dialing out performance? I’ve got over my outbound routes, they all look pretty good.
I know on oldschool modems, there were variables you could set to improve the atdt dialing speed, does the same apply here? was it not something like ats11=50 ?
I just forced my staff to switch from an oldschool medridian PBX system, and so far all I’ve gotten is complaining.
They don’t like the line/hold/transfer system, but I’m sure they will get over it, but they also don’t like the delay in dialling out.
Your problem is your “dialstrings” not being “closed”, if you dial something which is indeterminate then you will have to wait the default “timeout” (default is 5 seconds) until the call completes.
