Hi Eric/All, Thanks for the various feedback. Actually the line is working now, although Verizon told me they did not change anything. They even told me the problem is: the line is not ISDN but POTS .... Anyway it's working and it reminds me the joke below Have a nice WE André --------------------------------------------------------------------- Theory: Nothing is working but everybody knows why Practice: Everything is working but nobody knows why Here we combine both: Nothing is working and nobody knows why --------------------------------------------------------------------- At 10:18 31.10.2002 -0600, Knudson, Eric wrote:

Andre,

The call is being disconnected from the local switch because of an 'Invalid call reference value.' This would be the callref field in the various q931 messages. As you can see, the switch references this as '0x01,' while the router references it as '0x81.' It involves flipping a bit when we reference the same call that changes the value by 8 in hex. From the debugs, it looks like the router is doing the right thing, but the switch doesn't like the value. I'd ask the Verizon switch tech to identify what's wrong with that callref, or put your know good router onto this circuit to see if it exhibits the same behavior.

Hi, I'm trying to establish an ISDN call between Switzerland and New-York. The destination is in New-York, ISDN line provided by Verizon. The called is disconnected just after being set up (see NY-router log below), and the problem seems to be that Verizon switch does not understand the callref flag (0x01 and 0x81) correctly.

The funny thing is that i have another router in NY, another ISDN line from Verizon, and i'm calling from the same number in CH and it works perfectly...

Does anyone have a hint for me ? Thanks André
