Long post dial delay.

[jasonm]

I am trying to reduce end to end post dial delay. The numbers are international and domestic so 1+ and 011+ now I am using the 1T and 011T, which hunting method is the fastest and is there any trunking parameters that will add a # to the end of a number dialed out?

Thanks

To be honest I don't think there is a difference in speed between the two.

Jason,

Here are a couple of things that can be adjusted to reduce the post dial delay.

1. Under the voice-port, reduce the interdigit timer by typing "timeouts interdigit x" where x is the number of seconds to wait in between each digit. The extension of this is that it will wait x seconds after the last digit.

2. You can use a translation rule to append a # to the end of the dialed number. This will be a little difficult for the international calls because the exact number of digits required to dial an international number is variable.

Create a translation rule similar to the following

translation rule 1

rule 1 1.......... 1..........#

This will append a # to all numbers beginning with a 1followed by 10 digits

translation rule 2

rule 1 011................... 011...................# (international number with 19 digits)

.

.

rule 7 011............ 011............# (international number plus 12 digits)

rule 8 011........... 011...........# (international number plus 11 digits)

rule 9 011.......... 011..........# (international number plus10 digits)

For the international translation rule. The longest match must be placed at the top of the rules for this to work as rules are matched in order.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the input! I have implemented these measures already, I was wondering if someone used any alternative method that that to speed up hunting and termination.

How did you define the order of the voice ports in your PSTN gateway? Do they have the same order? If they do there will be delay as the system will them to have the same priority and take a while to decide which port to select to go out to PSTN. For example, if you have four ports you should configure them to use priority 1 -4.

the "preference [1] [2] [3] etc" dial peer command.

Ademola,

Have you ever got this to work? I am unable to use . as a wildcard. Everything I hav read says that wildcards are not allowed in translation rules.
