Odd.
Well, not really -- when the extension hangs up, Asterisk knows the channel has been abandoned and clears it. When the remote party hangs up first, the card doesn't tell Asterisk that the channel is clear (because it doesn't know the caller has hung up), so Asterisk has no idea and presumes it is unavailable. The problem is simply that call disconnect information is not being passed on somewhere. Either 1. The carrier is not signalling (possible -- I find that call disconnect signalling is spotty, at least in Alberta) 2. The signal is peculiar and the card doesn't recognize it. In my case I can't say definitively one way or the other, and the repair staff at Telus have been no help whatsoever. I should say that this pretty much makes the TDM cards useless -- in these parts, anyway -- unless you use forward on busy; and then it severely limits the flexibility because of the latency between when a call terminates and the channel becomes available again. -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
