Ring off hook in strange state

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I have had asterisk 1.2.13 running for quite a while on our sangoma a101 isdn card. i also have a a200 card.

I had one of the a200 ports connected to a uk BT phone line which asterisk just answers on ring and plays a message back and then hangs up.

I have had to move the asterisk server and rerun the phone line from the BT patch pannel to a new master socket. I have used 2 core phone cable

My problem is now Im getting the following errors and asterisk is not picking up the line. When I call the line it just rings and is not answered. Asterisk though shows the sound file playing but you only get ringin I have switched the 2 wires on the master socket incase they were the wrong way around without any success.

I am getting the ring off hook in strange state error which I think is why the line is not being answered.

Just found the problem and sorted it.

Fault was with the new BT extension leads I had.

The new ones were wired like.
Middle two wires on the bt plug to middle 2 on the rj11

The correct lead was wired middle two on BT plug to outside 2 on the RJ11

I am having this issue, only it worked fine before and I have changed nothing. The asterisk box says offhook and starts processing the call as normal. But the caller just gets ringing.

This is on a 4 fxs wildcard.

Any update on this?

IIRC, in the US the middle 2 on an RJ11 is for line #1 and outer 2 on an RJ11 is for line #2. Your previous middle 2 on BT to middle 2 on RJ11 should be the correct one.
