Morning list,

Was curious if it is possible to decrease the time asterisk takes to
answer an incoming call to a zaptel interface.

Example:

[Jun 11 09:33:06] VERBOSE[4489] logger.c: -- Starting simple
switch on 'Zap/2-1'
[Jun 11 09:33:10] NOTICE[4489] chan_zap.c: Got event 18 (Ring Begin)...
[Jun 11 09:33:12] NOTICE[4489] chan_zap.c: Got event 2 (Ring/Answered)...
[Jun 11 09:33:12] VERBOSE[4489] logger.c: -- Executing
[s at from-zap:1] Dial("Zap/2-1", "SIP/sv0071iv") in new stack

Asterisk first sees the incoming call at 09:33:06, but +4 seconds
later it detects the ring, then +2 more seconds it answers and execute
our extensions.conf programming.

Here is our zapata.conf:

---
[channels]
language=en
context=from-zap

usecallerid=yes
busydetect=yes
busypattern=500,500
busycount=3
callprogress=yes
progzone=us

signalling = auto
group = 1
channel => 1-24
group = 2
channel => 25-48
---

Thought immediate=yes might fix the problem, but seems to have no
affect. Below is its description.

---
;
; Specify whether the channel should be answered immediately or if the simple
; switch should provide dialtone, read digits, etc.
; Note: If immediate=yes the dialplan execution will always start at extension
; 's' priority 1 regardless of the dialed number!
;
;immediate=yes

From start to finish it take 6 seconds for asterisk to process an
incoming call... is there any way to shorten this time frame?

Thanks,
PB

Do you actually have callerID on your line? That takes about two
seconds. Try removing it and see how much faster Asterisk answers.

That brings up a question though, on a regular landline with caller ID
the phone rings right away, it just doesn't display caller ID info
until a couple of rings. Why not have that option in Asterisk?

Thanks,
Steve T

You mean like I asked in my question "SIP call, updated with CID as it
becomes available" just an hour ago? Smile

Exactly! It is funny how when idea or technology is ready, many
people have the same thougts at the same time. There should be a
study about that concept.

It's almost like a collective conscience.

Thanks Steve,

Forgot about callerID. We are not using callerID on the lines and
have disabled it. Asterisk now answers right away.

Thanks again,
PB

Indeed. But what is even more interesting is that this technology is
not "just ready". It's been ready for a long time and indeed I have had
this thought in my mind for many months now. I have only just now
chosen to express it. Why now, along with somebody else, within an hour
of each other? Very strange.

Heh. I wonder if I can get a grant. Smile

The truth of it is I have thought about that since the early days of
Asterisk but it was not a top concern and now I do almost exclusively
T1s, so it is not an issue.

Thanks,
Steve T
