I have recently installed a couple of Asterisk servers using the A400p card connected to a standard analogue telephone line in the UK.
Everything works perfectly except a few times a day a ghost or false call rings, there is no caller ID - it just shows as Asterisk.
The Asterisk server is not making the call its just a false ring, it follows through the IVR that is setups and follows the default route until the call is answered, when the call is answered it is completely dead.
All the settings appear to be correctly setup, there is no delay when a call comes in as some people have reported, and the calls hangup correctly without any problems. It's setup to respond to polarity switching and the caller ID works everytime with the correct signalling set.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing the false ringing?
The sample config file still has the following turned on
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
canpark=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
