[asterisk-users] Asterisk Manager API Action Originate

[Matthew Nicholson]

The response code corresponds directly to the control frame types in
frame.h.  The code will be different depending on the technology used to
dial.  The 0 code is some sort of failure not involving any other
control frames.  Usually timeout is 3 (RINGING).  I have provided a list
taken from frame.h (1.4 svn r194356).

0 = FAILURE
1 = HANGUP (rarely seen on PRI in my experience)
3 = RINGING (i.e. timeout)
4 = ANSWER
5 = BUSY (that is where your 5 errors are coming from)
8 = CONGESTION
