How can I increase the default ringing time on a phone using asterisk

Question

I have an asterisk pbx setup on my server. We call to phone numbers using our pbx asterisk 11. The default ringing time on the phone numbers seems to be very low around 20 seconds. Is there any way in asterisk to increase the ringing time, if yes then please let me know how can I do this.

Regards

Asterisk 11 - Dial options

You are referring to the timeout of the Dial application. It is easy to fix, just include after a coma the number of seconds that you want to ring.

Example: exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/1000,60) This example will ring extension 1000 during 60 seconds.

But, maybe you are using somekind of frontend, like FreePBX, Elastix, etc. Whit this frontends, your configuration is scripted to the previous code, so, this parameter must be configurable.

Look for dialing options, you will find something like default dial timeout .

Hope it helps!
