<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an * system and an nbx. My plan is to
use several grandstream 286s and plug the the phone cords into the NBX's
analog FXO card. It works fine but after I make a call, the port stays
open on the NBX and I cannot make another call for around five minutes or I have
to manually reset the port on the NBX.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I assume the Grandstream is still sending a busy
signal to the NBX so the port wont close. I know you can do things with
Zap channels to monitor the line but is it possible with SIP? I am pretty
sure that this needs to be implemented on the 286 or the NBX itself and not
*. Here is what 3com says about it. Maybe someone can help without
having to buy the graybar device listed in the article.</FONT></DIV>
