My network expertise is limited to switches and firewalls (not including VoIP optimization), and I have very limited experience setting up consumer VoIP routers, etc.
So, at this point, I'm not even sure whether what I'm asking is complex, or a simple timer setting...
....What controls the time-out period between when the user picks up the phone (standard dial-tone), and when it begins giving them a constant busy signal???
In other words, last week I setup an Linksys SPA2102, configured with two lines. I seem to have configured everything properly, because it all works. Unfortunately, the time-out between when you pick up the phone and hear the dial-tone and when it begins sounding a constant busy-signal is roughly 3 seconds!!!! I can't even use speed dial or redial, because it takes roughly 3 seconds to kick in, and by that time, my phone is already in "busy" mode.
I'd like to configure the the VoIP service so that the dial-tone remains active for at least 10 seconds. Is this even possible? Is this something configured on the CPE or via the service provider?
Again, I'm a VoIP newbie, so forgive me if the answer is ridiculously simple.
