[Asterisk-Users] B-channels restart problem

[Mark Spencer]

The restarts only occur on idle channels.  However, what is interesting is
that according to this log, the *switch* requests a restart on channel 20
(which if my calculations are correct, is the channel that has the call on
it).  You can see this because we log the messages on getting RESTART_ACK
as "successfully restarted" and the ones on the RESTART request as simply
"restarted".

You can also confirm this by doing a pri debug span 3.  You can also
increase this time by adjusting RESET_INTERVAL at the top of
channels/chan_zap.c to make the reset of idle channels less frequent, but
generally speaking the reset of  idle channels is a Good Thing to make
sure both sides are always in sync, state wise, on a channel, and clearly
the other side is requesting the RESTART on the channel with an active
call.
