Hi,
I have several asterisk pstn gateways running, each with at least 2 e1
pri circuits connected. I wonder if there's a way to block incoming
calls on the pri's, in such way that my telco sends the call to one of
the other pri's (all the pri's are together in a 'hunt group',
calls get
evenly distributed).
The cli command 'stop gracefully' did not work. Calls send to that
gateway d?d get blocked, but I heard a message from my telco saying 'the
number you have dialed is not in use', instead of getting connnected to
the next gateway.
I read some old discussion regarding the same, or related issue, but did
not see any results. ('How to busy out PRI channels?' on asterisk-dev,
end 2006)
thanks,
Egbert Groot.

I wonder if there's a way to block incoming > calls on the pri's,I have been working on this functionality and have development branches that are ready for testing before they get committed to trunk. ?I'd love to hear some feedback if you can take the time to test the branches. ?Here are the links to the branches: libpri - http://svn.digium.com/svn/libpri/team/dhubbard/issue3450_to_commit Asterisk - http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/group/issue3450 you will need DAHDI: http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/linux/trunk http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/tools/trunk If you test the branches, please provide feedback via http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=3450 I also want to reiterate that the libpri and Asterisk branches above are development branches, so be careful in a production environment. ?This functionality will be available in Asterisk 1.6.2. ?To disable a channel via the CLI type 'pri service disable channel <chan>' and to enable the channel type 'pri service enable channel <chan>'. good luck!
