<TITLE>[FOLLOWUP]: Calls not tearing down properly</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>As a follow-up, I have traced the PRI connection and discovered that calls hung up by a local BCM voice station (analog, digital, whatever) send a disconnect with a clear cause of 1 (Number not assigned) instead of a normal clear cause of 16. Calls forwarded through the BCM disconnect with the normal clear cause.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I have kludged up a fix to change all clear causes below 2 to 16 (I placed "if (icause <= 1) icause = 16;" after line 2506 in channels/chan_zap.c (version 1.2.5)). I am waiting to see if it solves the D-channel drops.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>As an aside, I have noted that calls that are hung up before completion, from either the Definity or the BCM, clear with a cause of -1. This can hang a channel on the Definity side as well.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have the following configuration:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Bell CO. <---ISDN---> Definity <---ZAP PRI---> Asterisk <--ZAP PRI---> Nortel BCM.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>With SIP users on the Asterisk box.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I have found a problem with call tear-downs. When a caller calls in from Outside, or from a Definity station to a BCM station, _and_ the BCM hangs up first, the Definity - Asterisk call does not tear down properly. I get a problem tone on the Definity station, or a "not in service" message from Bell for outside callers.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>All other calls tear down properly, in either direction, no matter who calls or who hangs up first. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I have been having problems with my Definity Asterisk connection dropping its D-channel (and all connections existing at the time of the D-channel drop). I believe that they may be linked. In using gdb, I was seeing problems with pri_disconnect_timeout.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Please help.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Regards,</FONT>
