This sounds like it could be a permissions issue. What you might try doing is 
instead of just entering a standard number such as 8461234 is to append the ip 
or dns name of the CUCM such as 8461...@10.1.10.10<mailto:8461...@10.1.10.10> 
and see if that gets you anywhere.

Subject: [sipx-users] Transferring offsite disconnects

All,
   Our college is currently using Cisco Unified Communications (V8) for all 
phones. I was recently granted approval to pilot SipX as an alternative in our 
IT department by the college administration. I am currently trying to replicate 
our Helpdesk auto attendant (currently house on Cisco Unity/CUCM) and migrate 
it to SipX. Before getting onto the issues, let me give you some more 
background on how things are connected.

Our Local and Long distance is provided by PAETEC via 3 PRIs. These PRIs are 
connected to a Cisco 2811 router and managed as trunk groups via gateways on 
CUCM (Call Manager).
I have a SIP Trunk configured on  CUCM to allows calls to be redirected/sent to 
the sipXecs server. It is configured to send certain dial patters direct to the 
sipXecs server (via translation patterns). I also have SIP pattern for my 
sipXecs domain and IP configured to be sent to the sipXecs server.
On the sipXecs, I have the CUCM system setup as an unmanaged gateway. I then 
use dialing rules to send desired calls from sipXecs to CUCM extensions as well 
as use the CUCM as a PSTN to the outside world.

Currently, sipXecs extensions can call CUCM extensions and vise versa with no 
issues. Several DIDs are translated on CUCM to allow the outside world to dial 
directly to a sipXecs phone without any issue. sipXecs phones can also dial 
local and long distances numbers through CUCM to the outside world without any 
issue. So far everyone has been working great.

The next step was to move the Automated Attendant for our office house by Unity 
to SipX system. I had no issues setup up the AA, however, one of the components 
is for some of the menu options to ring some of our office phones and if they 
go unanswered, be transferred of site to our central helpdesk. To accomplish 
this, I configured hunt group that would ring the desired phones (at the same 
time) for 10 second. I then configured a fallback destination which was a 
dialing pattern to call out through the PSTN (via CUCM) to our central 
Helpdesk.When I test from a sipXecs phone, this works fine. The desired phones 
ring for 10 seconds, then there is a short pause and the call starts to ring 
out to the central helpdesk which is then answered.

The issue is when the call begins from the outside word. In this scenario, some 
someone dials a DID that is redirected to the sipXecs AA. When selecting the 
menu option, it rings the desired phones for 10 seconds, brief pause and then 
begins to ring out through the PSTN to our central helpdesk. However, once 
answered, the call gets disconnected.

I am trying to track down the issue here. I am wondering whether this is a call 
AWK issue if it may be an anti-call trombone mechanism build-in to either 
sipXecs or CUCM (given that the source of the call is from the PST, goes 
through CUCM, to sipXecs and then circles out from which it came).

I understand this is a unique and possibly complex scenario. I am open to any 
recommendations. I am guessing this would work fine if we had a more direct 
PSTN sources instead of going through CUCM for incoming and outgoing calls.
