could be that the PBX *answers* the line (maybe for playing moh/messages)
and then rings the phones connected...

I think that if it hangup asterisk (by default) jumps to extension h,
so you may want create smth like

    exten => h,1,...

if you'd like to do other things after hangups

you can check the ${DIALSTATUS} var and jump accordingly,
like:

    exten => s,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)

and then have

    exten => s-BUSY,1,...

    exten => s-NOANSWER,1,...

and so on ...

yeah, that's it...
