[Asterisk-Dev] Busy Here Vs Service Unavailable

[Dov Bigio]

Hi,

I am using EyeBeam with Asterisk and everytime I dial a busy number, it returns error code 503.
According to EyeBeam's support:

--
eyeBeam 1.1 3010n stamp 19039 plays an American busy tone when it receives a "Busy" back from the network. It play a voice saying "*beep beep beep (rising tones)* The person you are calling is unavailable, please try again" ... repeating when the network sends a Congestion signal. There is no way in eyeBeam that I know of to change this message. 

Where SIP Congested = Error code: 503 "Service Unavailable" 
and SIP Busy = Error code: 486 "Busy Here" 

So in other words your network needs to send a SIP 486 message back to eyeBeam to hear a busy tone. 
---

Is there a reason for Asterisk to return 503 instead of 486?

Thank you
Dov
