[Asterisk-Users] 3com NBX and Asterisk Integration.

[Steve Totaro]

I sent this once already but it didnt show up in my mailbox so I am not sure if ever made it to the list.  If it did, my apologies.

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.

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.

      SOLUTION OFFERING FOR Telco LINES NOT PROVIDING DISCONNECT:
      - This solution may not work in all implementations, and most likely does NOT work for PBX Analog Extensions coming into the NBX, as they are not actual phone company lines, they do not go into recordings or produce re-order tones
      - This solution is a workaround to be attempted, with the explicit understanding that 3Com Corporation does NOT endorse this product in any way, but prefers to provide a solution for 
      continued use of the NBX system:
      The disconnect product is available through GrayBar (800 825 5517).Please shop around and get the unit you feel may be best for your situation.
