Timed collection

timeout is reset and the tone detector/call prompter is disconnected if the interdigit time out
expires. The collect digits vector command always executes timed collection of digits.
Timeout
The expiration of a preassigned time interval, during which a specified condition persisted. Timeout
is normally associated with an automatic action — or example, in Loudspeaker Paging, after a
timeout, the paging amplifiers and speakers are automatically released.
