Dial-Now fails to recognize time-out

[braymond]

Hi support,

If I set the Dial-Now rules directly from the GUI, when the phone recognizes the rule, it will dial according to the "Time out for Dial-now Rule" parameter (which is 1 second).

But if I create a dial-now rule from XML and have the phone load it, then two things may happen:

1. If I have selected a line and dialed the number, it will wait for the time set by the Inter Digit Time (which is 4 seconds) before dialing

2. If I dial the number without choosing a line (so the phone picks one by default), the number is never dialed and return idle after approximately 15 seconds.

Here's the XML I am using:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DialNow>
<Data DialNowRule="[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx" LineID=""/>
<Data DialNowRule="1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx" LineID=""/>
<Data DialNowRule="3[xx]" LineID=""/>
<Data DialNowRule="*3[xx]" LineID=""/>
<Data DialNowRule="10[1-9]" LineID=""/>
<Data DialNowRule="*9[x]" LineID=""/>
<Data DialNowRule="*74[x]" LineID=""/>
<Data DialNowRule="[45689]11" LineID=""/>
</DialNow>

I have set the url in the y000000000000.cfg as this:
dialplan_dialnow.url = tftp://192.168.0.3/na_xfer.xml

The rules do appear in the GUI so I know it was recognized.

I also tried to set LineID to a value of 1 (since I only have Account 1 configured) and that did not change anything.

I tried it from a T28P with:
Firmware version: 2.71.0.140
Hardware version: 1.0.0.53

Thanks for looking into it.

Okay, I realized what I was doing wrong. I was testing the rules that had the x within square brackets like 3[xx] ...

I removed the square brackets surrounding the x and it all works. In fact, the other rules (which I have not tested) were working.

Sorry about that but still a good learning post

Thanks,
Benoit
