[Asterisk-Users] Queue and busy/congested ZAP channels

[Christian Theune]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the queue behaviour in my place:

I have two ISDN channels to the outside (Zap/1) and two channels two a
Siemens Gigaset (Zap/4). I also use a SIP gateway to call outside and
have a couple of IP phones around as well (SIP).

The Gigaset has about 5 phones connected to it (+base station). Whenever
two people are using those, I always am blocking two internal channels,
so users who call in from the outside always get a busy or the
voicemail.

I configured a queue to take all calls to our central number, so people
will get to a phone as soon as possible. However, when there are only
agents logged on from the Zap/4 line, and both channels are used, the
caller gets transferred to the voicemail of one of the agents instead of
beeing put into the queue. 

Here is some console output on those events:

    -- Accepting voice call from '1797808366' to '12298890' on channel

Any ideas why it goes to voicemail instead of keeping the caller in the
queue?

Thanks,
