asterisk users - Feb 2014 - How to Busy signals on DAHDI

Hello,

On a Asterisk 1.6.1 powered system, I've just discovered that using  Busy()
application in dialplan was no enough to send a Busy signal on incoming
Dahdi channel.

On this specific install, adding an Answer()) and a Playtone() statement in
dialplan triggered sending of busy tone but I'm still surprised by my
findings.

Should I expect public switch to send a Busy tone to caller whenever
Asterisk triggers Busy app or did I miss something ?

Regards

It depends upon what kind of DAHDI channel.  If it is an analog FXS/FXO
port then
you have to answer for the busy tone to be heard by the caller because as
far as the
telco is concerned it delivered a call to a non-busy line.  If it is an ISDN
channel then it depends upon what you have the priindication option set
to.  With
priindication=outofband then a busy cause code is sent to the network and
the call
is hung up.  With priindication=inband then a busy tone is sent after a
possible
PROGRESS message.
