[Asterisk-Users] manager api events (pri vs pstn)

[Ken Godee]

Asterisk 1.0.3
TDM400P/TE410P

Using originate()
call progress "Events"

normal progression
on completed call

================
Event: Newstate
State: Ringing

Event: NewState
State: up
================

On "pri Zap" channels call progress events
will wait @ "State:Ringing" until call FAILS
via timeout if number dialed is disco'd,
out of service, etc. and produce a
progression of .....

================
Event: Newstate
State: Ringing

(long boring wait)

Event: Hangup
Cause: 0
================

The only exception is if
dialed number is busy, then will
instantly go from ringing to...

================
Event: Newstate
State: Ringing

Event: Hangup
Cause: 17
================

So on pri Zap channels
it seems there are only
three causes that get issued
on hangups ....

0 (not defined)
16 (normal clearing)
17 (user busy)

On "analog PSTN Zap channels"
every call goes directly from
"State: ringing" to "State: up"
regardless of call completion.

Which allows calls to be transfered
instantly and user can then disposition call
accordingly.

Our development system
is using TDM400P and
production system using a TE410P

Am I missing something? or is
Asterisk not reconizing the
status on the pri Zap channel, or is it,
and just not issuing event causes
for them?

Does anyone know if work has been
continued on this, to pass proper
cause codes and not wait for call
"FAIL" in 1.0.x or cvs?

Or is there anyway to get around
this so calls procceed without waiting
for a FAIL/timeout, much like PSTN Zap channels
do?

We need this, to the extent
we may have to install multiple
analog lines and shed our "smarter"
pri line.

Suggestions?
