PAP2T WEIRDNESS, dialing delay

Hi Kevin
In order for your PAP2T to connect the call immediately after you dial you need to set up a dial plan. On the web configuration page under the "Line x" tab at the bottom there is field for a dial plan. The dial plan tells the PAP2T which numbers to match, for example:
(*xx|8xxxxxxx|0[2-9][2-9]xxxxxxx)
matches feature codes, 8 digit number beginning with 8 and 10 digit numbers beginning with 0 and 2-9.
More info on the Linksys dial plan format can be found in the IP Phone Admin Guide: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?blobcol=urldata&blobhead... under 'dial plan examples'

I use the PAP2T for fax machines and modems. When ever I send a fax I never noticed any large delay, maybe 2 sec tops. What hardware version are you running? Areyou willing to send over screen shots of your set up?

I dont think its a dial plan issue.

Hey guys,

I just resolved the same 10 second PDD (post dial delay) problem with my PAP2T without modifying the dial plan.

I'm using a PAP2T running 3.1.15 firmware:

1) login to the PAP2's GUI
2) click 'Admin Login' and switch to 'Advanced View'
3) 'Regional' tab > 'Control Timer Values' section
Here's where the magic happens...
4) The 'Interdigit Long Timer' is defaulted at 10 seconds hence the 10 seconds of PDD
5) change this to 3 seconds or so and now your PDD is only 3 seconds

One caveat to this is that the call is sent after the Interdigit Long Timer has been exceeded regardless of the number of digits dialed. For example, if the timer is set at 1 second, you dial your NPA and then take >1 second to dial the NXX, the call will fail because it will send only the 3 digit NPA. However, I've been testing the timer at 3 seconds and it seems to be the sweet spot between sending the digits too fast and too much PDD.

Hi, Jutt

Just wanted to say thanks for your posting of the information. It solved my problem with the SPA2102 delay. I had so many tech support telling me to set this and that and to change the dial plan and non of it had any thing to do with the last digit delay. Sure changing the dial plan to fit your location or area code is the right thing to do but in my experience until I changed the Interdigit Long Timer nothing worked. I had to dial # after the number to get the call started.

Now I have another weird problem with the SPA210 when I dial a land line phone number everything works fine. However, when I call a cell phone number or a number the call is processed but I don't hear the phone ring back. The reason I know the call is processed is because the called party answer the phone. All I hear is nothing until the person at the other end answer the phone. I have tried all the options about forwarding port 5060 and changing port 5060 to 5160 nothing worked yet. It seems like the spa is not getting packet it needs to ring back. The crazy part is it work fine if I call a standard land line phone.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex

I have a PAP2T that I am trying to set up with two different extensions, one for each line. I have line one working great. but I can never seem to get line 2 to work as a separate extenstion due to the PAP2T only having one MAC address and only being able to be registered as one phone. Is there a way to configure 2 different extensions for a PAP2T?
