[cisco-voip] Router to Dial POTS line

[Paul]

If you, or anyone for that matter, accidentally or intentionally dials 911 you just need to let E911 operators know that you're just testing the lines and you wanted to confirm the phone number as well as the location listed on their console. If the location isn't listed or the phone number is incorrect, then you might have some other issues on hand.

Have you tried using csim start to dial your own mobile number or another number that is close to you that isn't associated with the IP PBX? Try that and you'll get more clues about what's wrong.

I'm fairly new to the backend of CM and really new to routers, so that
explains many of your "Why would you...?" questions. :)

Maybe CM is the place to start; I just thought I would try dialing with
the router.  Dest-pattern is open so I can call other numbers.  I don't
want to chance calling 911 while I'm stumbling around.

I'll have a look at the CM side; I was just interested in learning how
to dial out with the router.  I suppose it is a CM problem though.

Thanks
jeff

What else have you tried? Are you sure the port is properly registered
to CCM? If you're only using it for 911 why would you set the dial-peer
up to dial anything under the sun? Use destination-pattern 911 or 9911.
If the port is registered, are you sure you put it in the correct CSS?

Greetings,

We have an analog line here which I'm setting up for
911 dialing.

The line itself works as I can call out with a buttset just
fine.  We have everything configured on the router and in Call Manager.
But
it doesn't work; we get a fast busy.  I want to see if my problem is
the router config or CM, so I'm trying to place a call from the router
thinking that would rule out the router config.

I've got the analog line plugged into the 0 port in
the FXO card.  I put "destination-pattern 9T" on the dial-peer
as it was part of some example I found in a cisco doc for dialing out
from a
router.  The rest of the configs match a config from another site.

voice-port 0/1/0
timeouts call-disconnect 5
timeouts wait-release 5
timing hookflash-out 500
description 911 Dialing

dial-peer voice 999010 pots
service mgcpapp
destination-pattern 9T
port 0/1/0

Anyway, I get this when I place a call:

Router#csim start 95555555
csim: called number = 95555555, loop count = 1 ping count =
0

csim err:csim_do_test invalid major major(16) minor(0)
csim: loop = 1, failed = 0
csim: call attempted = 1, setup failed = 0, tone failed = 0

Any insight out there?

Thanks
jeff
