[Asterisk-Users] X100P - Busydetect / calls being disconnected - Australia; tip.
Hi All, This isn't really a question, but it's an issue I experienced that was driving me crazy for a few days, so I thought it might be good for the archives. Basically what was happening was everytime a particular customer called (long distance), the line would disconnect immediately after answering. I thought it might have been the phone, so I swapped the phone with another - still happened. I thought that there was some remote possibility that the phone company was reversing the line on answering long distance calls, so I switched to fxs_ls instead of fxs_ks - no difference. Various things were tried to no avail, until I made a long distance call over a different carrier to our usual carrier (we use Optus, I made the call over Telstra). When the remote end answered, my end disconnected. What was happening was, when the call is answered, 5 quick chirps are sent down the line. However, because of the bug in the Cisco 7960 causing the first 1/2 a second or so of a conversation to be cut off - I didn't hear these chirps and as such I didn't think of the next bit: Basically, because I had busycount set to 3 and busydetect set to yes, these chirps were being detected by the busydetect function and causing the call to be disconnected. I raised the busycount to something safe (8) and this no longer happened. This has me worried for a while, especially as I'd just disconnected the old PBX a few days ago and spent a nice amount of money on Cisco 7960 and 7940 IP phones (and will probably be ordering more in the near future). Anyway, I'm pleased to report that everything is now working perfectly and I'm extremely happy with Asterisk. I'd contribute, but alas I'm not much of a C programmer. -Shaun ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Because of the nature of busydetect algorithm busycount shouldn't be set to less than 8. It's 10 by default. Just imagine that you dial a number that is attached to some speed dial key. It'll surely cause hangup if busydetect 8.

Maybe I'll try 10 :-) -Shaun ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
