Actually, they're ISDN PRI. I should ask Bell...err...Verizon about this, I guess, and hope for a straight answer for once. Thanks!
Oh, they *are* PRI?
Are you running NI-2 on them? If so, then you don't have service messages available to you and the chassis has no way to indicate to the switch to take those DS0's out of service...thus the switch will continue to send calls down those DS0's which the dual-pri or DSP card can only just reject, resulting in the fast busy.
If you switch to custom-5ESS or custom-DMS100 or whatever switch type your on...rather than using the (sub-)standard NI-2, you should get service messages and the ability to busy out a DS0 and have the switch skip it.
Jeff is correct here. Unless and until you have a switch that recognizes service messages - DMS or 5E or 4E you will not be able to busy of the B channels.
However if you have a NI 2 switch Telco can configure the switch with 5E or DMS messages - if that is done there should be no issue.
Its still a Bell issue - check your config and see that you send a blue alarm and ask them if they see the blue alarm
The switch type is DMS100. The call routing is fixedAssignment. I think there is an issue with Verizon's switch configuration or hunt group and will be in touch with one of their engineers this morning, hopefully. (Err...what's a "blue alarm"?) ********************************************************* Michelle M.
