This is a known problem.  Sometimes the SNOM's seem to go to BUSY 
without any cause. At least no indicator is shown in the display. A 
possible solution is posted here:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-SNOM+phones

If it does not solve the problem, try to reset the phone to default 
settings and power cycle it. With the latest firmware I did not see the 
problem yet, but I see the other bugs (crash + transfer, I'm busy 
emailing with SNOM about these bugs).

The dialtone is no indication you can setup an RTP stream. You should 
test it with the asterisk built in ECHO server. Make sure there is no 
firewall activated which can block the traffic. If it still doesn't 
work, check the "sip debug" output for errors or retransmits.

Kind regards,
