Dial URI Delay

andyh · ‎10-18-2007

Is there a way to code a delay into the dial string of the Dial URI? I need to add a 1-2 second delay in two places in the dial string. I have tried commas in the example below (old school), but that doesn't seem to have any effect.

My other option here is to use TAPI, but I'd rather not have to do that if I can avoid it.

Also, can somebody clarify the difference between Dial and EditDial?

Thanks,

Andy

don't blame you wanting to avoid tapi. how about using the KEY: URI? that way, you can dial the number a key at a time, inserting pauses where you want to. of course, every key will be a separate CiscoIPPhoneExecute, but at least you'll be able to get the delay you need (and probably more!)

Sending a DIAL: to a phone causes it to dial the number sent. EDITDIAL pops up a dialog on the phone that allows the user to edit the number before dialing it.

That worked perfectly, thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the clarification on the dial/editdial as well.
