Getting crazy with "Everyone is busy/congested at this time"

Hi,

What does “Everyone is busy/congested at this time” mean?
The error mesage is:
– Called 05305235244@MyTrunk
– SIP/MyTrunk-0a04a548 is circuit-busy
== Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/1/0)
== Auto fallthrough, channel ‘SIP/1001-0a040848’ status is 'CONGESTION’
sox: invalid option – m

Here are my settings:

sip.conf:

[MyTrunk]
host=84.11.111.1
username=blabla
secret=blalba
fromuser=blabla
fromdomain=84.11.111.1
insecure=very
qualify=yes
nat=yes
type=friend
disallow=all
allow=g729
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw

extension.conf:
[MyContext]
exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}MyTrunk,30)

Thanks a lot…

It means all of the (in your case 1) addresses in the first parameter of the Dial application were either busy or congested. The three numbers separated by /s are the counts of busy, congested and unavailable addresses.

In general, Dial can take a sequences of addresses, separated by &s, and ring them simulataneously, then connecting the call to the first to answer.
