Summary:                    [patch] UK (BT) lines produce uncleared red alarm on
TDM400P during line tests
Description: 
Asterisk: 1.4.22, dahdi-linux: 2.1.0.3

The automatic overnight line tests (or manual ones) used on UK (BT) lines
causes a red alarm on a dahdi / TDM400P connected channel. This is because
the line uses voltage tests (battery loss) and polarity reversal. The
polarity reversal causes chan_dahdi to initiate v23 CallerID processing but
during this the event DAHDI_EVENT_NOALARM is ignored so that the alarm is
never cleared.

All this means that the channel is unusable until a "dahdi restart"
occurs.

I have a patch for chan_dahdi which works well for me but it's not the
nicest solution an it needs more people to test / refine. I will attach the
patch.

    Make sure to clear red alarm after polarity reversal.

    From the issue:
    The automatic overnight line tests (or manual ones) used on UK (BT)
lines causes
    a red alarm on a dahdi / TDM400P connected channel. This is because
the line
    uses voltage tests (battery loss) and polarity reversal. The polarity
reversal
    causes chan_dahdi to initiate v23 CallerID processing but during this
the event
    DAHDI_EVENT_NOALARM is ignored so that the alarm is never cleared.
