Starting Events by DTMF clarification

[mbabb]

The manual states concerning starting an event DTMF "if the event is supposed to start at 01:00:00, DTMF will be checked from 00:55:00 to 01:05:00. If no DTMF is detected within that time frame, the event will be launched at the predefined time."

Now my question:  Using the above example, how can the event be started by DTMF if the DTMF tone comes at 01:02:00, if my predefined time is 01:00:00?  The above example works just like explained if the "Start by DTMF" box is checked, but if the "Start by DTMF" box is not checked, the event will start at the predefined time unless the DTMF comes before that time.  Correct?

On another note, I would like to suggest a feature that will allow you to schedule an event to change the DTMF source.

thanks, mike

Yes, it will start at 01:00:00 and it will ignore the tones if they are to arrive before 01:05:00.

The +/- 5 minute time frame (5 minutes both ways is the default setting) only works when you use the "DTMF Only" checkbox. If this box is not checked, then both intervals are added together: for example, when event's start time is 01:00:00, it will start looking for tones from 00:50:00.

On another note, I would like to suggest a feature that will allow you to schedule an event to change the DTMF source.

Thanks for the suggestion, a scheduler command to do it will be added in one of the next updates.
