Dial() ringtime vs. connection time

Hello there,

when i tell the Dial Application to use a timeout of say 1 second this timeout is not used to really ring for one second but to attempt to dial for 1 second.

I’m seeking a solution to reduce the real ringtime to a very short period. I want to prevent the called person to answer the call.

Does anybody know a solution in asterisk?

Thanx,
Nils
