[Freeswitch-users] Openzap: Analog FXO disconnect supervision. Is it possible to disconnect on busy? is battery reversal the default? is it power denial?

[Luis F Urrea]

I understand that tone based disconnect could be subject to false
disconnects in some cases, being dependent  on the integrity of the analog
signal and the proper configuration of tones, however I do feel that the
feature is worth the effort, considering how difficult it is to get a Telco
to arrange changes of settings on analog lines and being a last resort for
this kind of situation.

I do know however that this feature is implemented for example on Cisco IOS
for analog gateways, Audiocodes gateways and Patton gateways.

Cisco IOS and Patton requires one to specify the frequencies and cadence of
the tone, Audiocodes provides an application that records the call progress
tones and then analyzes the recorded busy signal to be used as the
disconnect signal.

I used to work at Cisco TAC supporting H323 analog and digital gateways, and
in my experience the feature certainly saved the day in many cases after the
customer was frustrated in trying to find out what his/her provider
implemented on the line.

My vote goes for it!
