By default, the timeout in the PAP2T for seizing the line is set to 10 seconds. That means, when you enter the number in your (analogue) phone and dial, the PAP2T-adapter will wait another 10 seconds for additional digits. Normally this is not necessary, because most devices are using block-dialing.

Question: PAP2T – How can I configure the timeout before dialing?

For example:

- A user has configured a Linksys PAP2T with an analogue telephone behind it.

- The user is dialing a number

- It takes 10 seconds before the user is hearing the dialtone

Workaround: Use a # behind the dialed number to end the timeout directly.

Solution: In the WebUI of the Linksys PAP2T you can change the timeout. Go to Admin-View --> Regional --> Interdigit Long Timer



Change here the settings from 10 seconds to 1 second (or something in between).


Analogue Gigaset DECT phones are using block-dialing, therefore you can use a timeout-setting of 1 second.
