Decline message not being sent

Hello,

Asterisk is not sending a Decline message back to the caller.

  1. Peer A calls Peer B.
  2. Peer B declines the call.
  3. Asterisk acknowledges the decline but no Decline message is sent back to Peer A.
  4. Peer A still displays Ringing for approximately 8 seconds before call ends.
  5. Asterisk’s log shows a Forbidden message.

How do I get Asterisk to send a Decline message back to caller so it may end call immediately?

Thank you.

You need to provide the console output so we can see what is being executed. Dialplan can influence what occurs.
