Timeout of conversation (Event Handler)

Using the $ST (Set_Timer) message.

Timeout of incoming calls to one specific station:

In AlphaPro, go to Exchange and System -> Events, press Insert and create the following events:

---

Event 1 - Start the timer on incoming call (180 sec).

Event Owner:	The station
Event type:	07 - Conversation Incoming
When change to:	ON
When related to:	All
Action:	$ST L%1.dir w1800 L%2.dir

---

Event 2 - Cancel conversation when timeout.

Event Owner:	The station
Event type:	21 - Event timeout
When change to:	ON
When related to:	All
Action:	$C L%1.dir

---

Event 3 - Stop the timer if the conversation cancels before timeout period has expired.

Event Owner:	The station
Event type:	07 - Conversation Incoming
When change to:	OFF
When related to:	All
Action:	$ST L%1.dir w0 L%2.dir

---

If the conversation timeout should apply for outgoing calls as well, add the following events:

Event 4 - Start the timer (180 sec).

Event Owner:	The station
Event type:	08 - Conversation Outgoing
When change to:	ON
When related to:	All
Action:	$ST L%1.dir w1800 L%2.dir

---

Event 5 - Stop the timer if the conversation cancels before timeout period has expired.

Event Owner:	The station
Event type:	08 - Conversation Outgoing
When change to:	OFF
When related to:	All
Action:	$ST L%1.dir w0 L%2.dir

---

If the timeout should apply to a number of stations the easiest way is to assign the stations concerned to a UDP group, and then set the UDP group as Event Owner instead of the 'The station' in the above events.
