[Asterisk-Users] Busy number signalling

[Eric Bishop]

Hi all,

Our Asterisk box sends calls outbound via either SIP (through our VoIP
provider) or an E1 PRI (directly connected via a TE410P). When we dial
a number that is engaged via our VoIP provider we get the following on
the Asterisk console (numbers and IP addresses changed to protect the
innocent):

   -- Called 12345678 at sip-outbound
    -- Got SIP response 486 "Busy here" back from 123.123.123.123
    -- SIP/sip-outbound-af71 is busy
  == Everyone is busy/congested at this time

This is what we want as it then send the call to priority n+101 and we
can handle it any way we want from there. However if the outbound call
is made via the PRI to an enaged number it simply plays an enaged
signal to the caller and never progresses to priority n+101.

Anyone have any suggestions?
