In order to adjust timings for Calling Card extensions you need to set three global variables in the dialplan. This article explains how to do that.

Step-by-step guide

STEP 1: Connect to your VoipNow  server as root using a SSH client (e.g. Putty).

STEP 2: Open  the /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf file in an editor and add the statements below at the beginning of the file, in the [globals] section:

  • CACCCNUMBERTIMEOUT=<CACCCNUMBERTIMEOUT_value> | Set the number of seconds the extension will wait after the final digit when typing a calling card number. The default value is 6.
  • CACPASSTIMEOUT=<CACPASSTIMEOUT_value> | Set the number of seconds the extension will wait after the final digit when typing a password. The default value is 6.
  • CACNUMBERTIMEOUT=<CACNUMBERTIMEOUT_value> | Set the number of seconds the extension will wait after the final digit when typing a number. The default value is 6.
  • CACDIGITFIRSTTIMEOUT=<CACDIGITFIRSTTIMEOUT_value> | Set the number of seconds the extension will wait before entering the first digit. The default value is 6.
