Failed to hang up

Symptom

The FXO voice subscriber line cannot detect busy tone signals sent from the PBX, so the line is in connection even if the remote end hangs up.

Figure 16: Network diagram

As shown in Figure 16, suppose Telephone A hangs up first after conversation, then PBX A plays busy tones to Router A, which disconnects the line after detecting the busy tones and sends a disconnect message to Router B. Router B sends the message to PBX B that then plays busy tones to Telephone B. The whole disconnection process is done. If the FXO voice subscriber line on Router A cannot detect the busy tone played by PBX A, the call cannot be terminated.

Solution

For information about the procedure of automatic busy tone recognition test, see "Busy tone detection." If the test fails, repeat the operations till the busy tones can be recognized.
