In the last few days, we have been making a lot more phone calls than usual. It's so much that we actually max out our 72 outgoing long-distance lines (this is a 7 PIM 2400 ICS with about 1000 extensions).
But what also happens during these peak periods is that you have slow dial tone or other operations become slower:
- You pick up your phone to make a call, and get dead air, for about 3-5 seconds. At that point you either get dial-tone or fast-busy (no register senders available).
- Your phone rings, you pick up, and it keeps ringing for about 3-5 seconds before you are connected to the caller. In some cases, the call-forward no-answer kicks in even though you picked up your phone to answer.
I understand that outgoing lines might all be maxed-out, but that should not slow down the system itself. Also, the register-senders might be all busy (so you won't get dial-tone) but still this slow-ness is not explained.
Anybody has any ideas?
