Inband tones before answering is known as early media. After answering
it is just a normal audio path that the tones would go over.
Asterisk B in the above situation before answering with the shown dialplan
snippet, the Playtone() would effectively be a NoOp because nothing is shown
that would open a path for early media. (The Progress() application should
be
done first to open the path.) Then the Busy() would cause
chan_dahdi/sig_pri
to send a PROGRESS message toward Asterisk A if needed to open the media
path and start its own busy tones. From Asterisk B to Phone A there are
several things that could block the early media. The telco network,
Asterisk A configuration, and Phone A itself.
You may need to investigate these options on Asterisk A from
sip.conf.sample:
;prematuremedia=no ; Some ISDN links send empty media frames
before
; the call is in ringing or progress state.
The SIP
; channel will then send 183 indicating
early media
; which will be empty - thus users get no
ring signal.
; Setting this to "yes" will stop any media
before we have
; call progress (meaning the SIP channel
will not send 183 Session
; Progress for early media). Default is
"yes". Also make sure that
; the SIP peer is configured with
progressinband=never.
;
; In order for "noanswer" applications to
work, you need to run
; the progress() application in the
priority before the app.
;progressinband=never ; If we should generate in-band ringing
always
; use 'never' to never use in-band
signalling, even in cases
; where some buggy devices might not render
it
; Valid values: yes, no, never Default:
never
