Greetings, I am running Asterisk with a T100P and a Zhone channel bank for over a month now. For the most part it works fine but from time to time (about once a week) the system will not let go of a line and will play the greeting over and over. Anyone calling gets a busy signal. If I reset Asterisk everything works fine. Has anyone seen this problem before and fixed it? If so what did you do?> show versionAsterisk CVS-02/28/03-22:17:11 built by root@auriga on a i686 running Linux. If there is anything else you need to know, let me know. Gene

I'm assuming you are reffering to a phone line coming from the PSTN, is it analog, or is it digital? Have you tried soft hangup on it? Have you tried to place a timout on it, so asterisk finally times out the call? Maybe you would like to place a loop counter on the number of times the call makes it through the timeout extension, and after some threshold, you issue a hangup on the call. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>

It might have something to do with the zhone. I posted this on the 'Serious problem with z-plex 10 thread' from this morning - see if any of this is familiar, I have observed that if you dial a (unused) port that does not have a phone plugged into it it may start detecting pickups on unused ports and I see messages something like "Picking up channel Zap/9-1" then a few seconds later Hanging up...

Hi Steven, I have analog lines connected to the fxo lines of the Zhone channel bank. All of your suggestions sound good. How do you set up the config file so it would play the greeting twice and then hangup the line? That would fix the problem for the most part, but why isn't * releasing the line when the caller hangs up. Thanks!

How can I determine what kind of signaling I have.

It is important to know loopstart may not signal when it is hungup real well. If the zhone fails to detect it, then it is possible for asterisk to never know it hungup> -----Original Message----- > From: Steven Critchfield [mailto:critch@basesys.com] > Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 6:57 PM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Line is stuck off hook... > > > On Tue, 2003-04-01 at 17:13, Gene Kochanowsky wrote: > > Greetings, > > > > I am running Asterisk with a T100P and a Zhone channel bank for over a > > month now.
