Analog to Analog Ringdown Issue

[TheCardMan]

I set up PLARS between 2 analog stations. Pick up phone A and phone B rings. When phone B hangs up and phone A has not hung up yet phone B rings again. Seems like Phone A gets dial tone again before hanging up and the PLARS initiates again. Any way of avoiding this? I have tried Disconnect Supervision on the VG224 ports but not sure if I applied it correctly because it did not work.

Thanks

TheCardMan, any luck on getting this to work out? I'm currently in the same situation.

Thanks

How did you configure the PLAR functionality, on the call manager itself or in the command line interface of the VG224? Hint: It's 20 times easier on the VG CLI than in the CUCM GUI and I've had no problems with re-ring when the called party hangs up while the PLAR stays off hook.

To configure PLAR directly on the VG224 port, first create the analog line/DN on the CUCM. Then telnet to the VG224 & log in. Default username.PW Cisco Cisco

From there the commands are as follows:

Config t

sccp plar
voiceport 2/0 dial XXXXXX
^C
copy run start
press enter

for your voice port enter the port you wish to config. I used 2/0 for the example. Also I did not have to configure any timeouts. It worked fine and I was immediately able to go off hook again and have the port auto-dial. The call is only placed one time per switchook operation.

For making PLARs out of analog ports in Call Manager this method is a lot easier than going through the multi-step drudgery in the CUCM GUI.

I changed the configuration to be on the VG directly via CLI. This worked better. Only issue is that someone looking at things and troubleshooting only through CUCM GUI will not see that this line is a ring down. So I noted it in the Description line of the device. No more ring back issue....

Thx for the support!!

That is exactly what the description field is for imagine how helpful it would be if everyone made such intuitive notes there.
