Cannot get busydetect to work

Asterisk Asterisk Support

My phone company does not provide disconnect supervision, there is no polarity change (at least not on incoming calls) and no voltage drop either. So, I need busydetect. I tried lots of different settings, but nothing seems to work. Incoming and outgoing calls work fine, sound is ok, CLI works. Just no hangup detection. How can I debug this?

My System:
Debian Etch
Asterisk 1.4.19
Asterisk Add-ons 1.4.6
Zaptel 1.4.10
X100P clone (Atcom AX100-P)
Telco: PCCW (Hong Kong)

lsmod | egrep “wc|zap”
wctdm 35436 0
wcfxo 11776 0
zaptel 186180 8 wctdm,wcfxo
crc_ccitt 2240 1 zaptel

/etc/zaptel.conf
fxsls=1
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
[channels]
context=from_PCCW
signalling=fxs_ls
channel => 1
busydetect=yes
busycount=6
busypattern=500,500
usecallerid=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=no
rxgain=0.0
txgain=50.0

I checked the zone data and compared them to the info I found on the regulator’s website. The signals specified in HKTA 2201 are the same as defined in zaptel/zonedata.c for country=us. (ofta.gov.hk/en/standards/hkt … ta2201.pdf)

Fixed the problem. The “channel => 1” needs to come after all the other settings. The txgain=50 is ridiculously high, but had no effect for the same reason. Here is a corrected config:

/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
[channels]
context=from_PCCW
signalling=fxs_ls
busydetect=yes
busycount=6
busypattern=500,500
usecallerid=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=no
echotraining=no
rxgain=0.0
txgain=3.0 
channel => 1
