How to reduce the time to release a channel

Hi all… I am writing here because I need some help! :smile:
I have Asterisk 1.6.0.25 and chan_sccp release 2 (20090602).
Everything works fine, just a little thing doesn’t like me. When I end a call, I have to wait for 10 seconds to make another call succesfully. If I don’t wait, the call proceeds but I get no audio.
I believe that this 10 seconds is the time that asterisk lasts to free the sccp channel (channel 5 in the example).

What I would like to know is if there is any way to change this timer to make it a little lower.
I am pasting some console output while I made a call.
Thanks in advance to all.

– Executing [47XXXXXX@phones:1] MixMonitor(“SCCP/8000-00000005”, “/var/lib/asterisk/monitor/OUT_FECHA:20100306_HORA:17:28:15_TEL:47XXXXXX.gsm”) in new stack

Hi, sr.
Try to add w before the extension to dial. Each w mean 0.5 seconds and this time is enough to relase the channel and get the call progress.
Example: exten=>_800XXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/3/w${EXTEN})

I hope this help you. If you have more question, ask me if you want to me email-: manueln96@hotmail.com
I’ll be there!

Thanks Manuel for your answer.

Just to clarify my problem description (I believe it wasn’t clear enough…)

I have a cisco phone running native SCCP (I have installed the chan_sccp release 2)
The problem happens when I end a call (from my sccp phone) and try to make a new call within 10 seconds of the ending of the previous call. If I end a call and start a new call before 10 seconds, the call progresses fine but I get no audio in my sccp phone.
It doesn’t matter if I call to an internal extension (SCCP or SIP), the voicemail (comedian) or to a PSTN phone. It is the same. I have to wait 10 seconds to make a new call.

This line appears in the asterisk console when I end a call from my cisco phone:
– SCCP: Request to schedule delete for channel ‘5’ in 10 seconds
Then, I have to whait to the following message to make a new call, If I don’t wait, get no audio.
– SCCP: Channel ‘5’ freed by schedule.

Thanks a lot again.

Gastón.
