Summary:                    "Dial(mISDN/g:te/${EXTEN})" don't set up L2Link but
"Dial(mISDN/1/${EXTEN}" works
Description: 
Asterisk 1.4.2 with Junghans QuadBri BRI-ISDN card handled with mISDN.

I have 3 BRI's in PTP mode configured as a "te" group in misdn.conf and
incoming calls work perfectly.

Outgoing calls dialing the "te" group fail but outgoings calls dialing any
mISDN port work. The following example shows what I mean:

- 940 exten is:  Dial(mISDN/g:te/675511308)
- 941 exten is:  Dial(mISDN/1/675511308)
- "te" group is:
  [te]
    ports=1,2,3
    context=entrantes-analogicas
    msns=*

I dial 940 and it fails:
-------------------------------------------

I dial 941 and it works:
-------------------------------------------

  * Port 2 Type TE Prot. PTP L2Link DOWN L1Link:UP Blocked:0  Debug:0

    -- Executing [941 at desde-usuarios:1] Dial("SIP/ibc-tfno-ip-b5900c90",
"mISDN/1/675511308") in new stack
P[ 0] maxnum:2    -- Called 1/675511308
P[ 1] channel already in use:1
    -- mISDN/1-u271 is proceeding passing it to SIP/ibc-tfno-ip-b5900c90
-------------------------------------------

If I call instantly 940 it works because there is at least one port with
L2Link UP (port 1):
-------------------------------------------
asterisk*CLI> misdn show stacks
BEGIN STACK_LIST:
  * Port 1 Type TE Prot. PTP L2Link UP L1Link:UP Blocked:0  Debug:0
  * Port 2 Type TE Prot. PTP L2Link DOWN L1Link:UP Blocked:0  Debug:0
  * Port 3 Type TE Prot. PTP L2Link DOWN L1Link:UP Blocked:0  Debug:0
    -- Executing [940 at desde-usuarios:1] Dial("SIP/ibc-tfno-ip-b5900c90",
"mISDN/g:te/675511308") in new stack
P[ 0] maxnum:2    -- Called g:te/675511308
P[ 1] channel already in use:1
    -- mISDN/1-u275 is proceeding passing it to SIP/ibc-tfno-ip-b5900c90
-------------------------------------------

So my conclusion is:
- Dialing directly to a mISDN port works well and sets up port L2Link.
- Dialing to a mISDN group JUST works if there is a port with L2Link UP.

ASTERISK 1.4.13
Hi all,
I solve this issue by patching chan_misdn.c this way:

on line 3211 insert a comment

chan_misdn_log(4, port, "portup:%d\n", port_up);

    /*Here if ( port_up>0 )*/ {
                 newbc = misdn_lib_get_free_bc(port, 0, 0, dec);
                              

insert a comment in line 3167 too:

/*if (port_up <= 0)
   continue;*/

Recompile asterisk.
This worked for me.
Hope this can help you
