It depends where the problem really has its origin. If just asterisk (chan-capi) has a wrong channel count, it would be enough to unload chan-capi. Maybe asterisk itself need to be restarted. But if the real problem comes from the CAPI/ISDN driver, you need to reload these drivers. Which version of asterisk/chan-capi do you use? What ISDN hardware / CAPI driver do you use? > Second, is there a way to bypass the unavailable channel in the dialplan? No. > Third, what is causing the problem and can I prevent it? chan-capi counts the active channels when the CONNECT/DISCONNECT message of b-channels are indicated. If one of these messages are missing (it's a bug in the CAPI driver if that happens) the count is wrong.
