[asterisk-users] How to busy out PRI channels?

[Tony Mountifield]

Is there any way under software control (CLI, Manager, etc.) to "busy out"
one or more PRI channels, for testing purposes, without actually having
to make real calls on them? It should have the following effects:

a) Outgoing calls will not try to use the busied out channels, when using
a group specifier.  An attempt explicitly to dial via a busied channel
would fail with CHANUNAVAIL.

b) The remote switch would recognise the channels as busy and would hunt
for a non-busy channel when attempting to place a call to the system.

The intention is to simulate behaviour as a system approaches capacity,
not in terms of loading but of routing, etc.

Cheers
Tony
