[Asterisk-Users] Local Outbound Calls on PRI

I'm in the process of turning up a PRI in one of my markets and have
run into a problem I have never seen before.  I am unable to place a
local outgoing call.  Long Distance over the same PRI works fine.

When I attempt to place a local call using the PRI I see Asterisk
attempt to dial, and am greeted with a busy signal.  This signal
appears to originate on the telco's switch.

I have had a central office tech from the CLEC insert a monitor in the
distribution point on the switch and observe call flow.  According to
the tech call flow appears proper, and he was able to tell me the
number I was calling from and the number I attempted to dial.

He then placed a PRI test-set at the distribution point in the switch
and successfully made and terminated a variety of calls from that
point.

He then took the PRI test set out to my physical location and did the
same test, made and received local and long distance calls on one of
my trunks.

After thinking about this last night I decided to re-update my
Asterisk installation to the latest bleeding edge CVS version and
re-test from my test extension with the exact same results.  I
successfully make long distance calls, successfully receive any calls,
but the local calls originated from the SIP phone (SNOM200 and
Mediatrix2102) fail with a busy signal that seems to originate from
the CLEC's switch.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Paul

Some switches are fussy about you getting the NPI and TON (sometimes 
jointly known as the dial plan) right. That is usually the cause of the 
problem you see.

Any chance you're sending more or fewer digits than the CLEC expects
to see from you?

I would expect that the tech would have picked up on it when he was
watching your call attempts but just in case...

CSID is caller sending ID.  This is what number you are sending from the PBX
to the local carrier.

Could you expand that acronym for me?
 
CSID 
 
Calling station ID
Called Station ID
 
Not quite sure which you are referrring to in your response.

Your extensions.conf and console output might help us out quite a bit.

Console Output from Long Distance Call

    -- Executing Dial("SIP/7013560112-8780",
"Zap/g1/17012402815") in new stack
    -- Called g1/17012402815
    -- Zap/1-1 is ringing
    -- Hungup 'Zap/1-1'

Console Output from Local Call
    -- Executing Dial("SIP/7013560112-206b",
"Zap/g1/3566150") in new stack
    -- Called g1/3566150
    -- Hungup 'Zap/1-1'

Both cases Hangup line does not occur untill I physically hang up the SIP phone.
Long Distance Call rings through (its my cell phone) with the correct
CID information for the line.

Local Call generates a "fast-busy" or re-order tone immediately (less
than 1 second) after the Called line.

exten => 411,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten => 411,2,Busy

exten => 911,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten => 911,2,Busy

exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten => _NXXXXXX,2,Congestion

exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,2,Congestion

Above is the trunks section of my dialplan.

Zap/g1 is channesl 1-23 on the first (and only) PRI on my Quad T1 card.

Here is my zaptel.conf
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=1-23
dchan=24
fxoks=97-98

Here is my zapata.conf

switchtype=national
pridialplan=national
signalling=pri_cpe
context=incomingcall
group=1
channel=>1-23

signalling=fxo_ks
context=employee
channel => 97-98

The pridialplan is set at the request of the telco, the same behavior
was observed with the pridial plan missing from the config as would be
normal for most PRI's.

Dialing directory assistance as 411 also works in addition to the LD
calls that have been working.

Here is the sip.conf file currently in use (reduced to 1 entry during testing)
[7013560112]
accountcode=pauloster
type=friend
context=phonecustomers
username=7013560112
secret=<deleted>
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=inband
qualify=yes
reinvite=no
mailbox=7013560112
callerid=7013560112

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
