Waiting For A Line

I have an IP 500 V2 with (4) analog trunks. When someone is already on a call, a second call cannot be placed outbound. The users see "Waiting for a line" on display and hear an audible beep.

Below is a trace (with X's replacing digits to mask my numbers). It shows my call with the locals on Port 9 (line 5). Then someone else in the office lifted another handset and attempted to dial out. It looks like ARS got it to Line 6, bu tthen "Originator State = Clearing". This is the point at which the caller hears beep tones and sees "Waiting for a line" on display.

What is causing the originator end to clear? Why can't the IPO seize and use line 6 in this scenario? Any assistance is appreciated!

Probably because the line in that port doesn't work or isn't connected properly ...at a guess :)

That's what I figured too. But all 4 lines tested clean by our local cabling vendor. In fact, during this exact scenario, he was able to clampointo the line and make a call from beyond the IPO. So it's something in the IPO that is clearing on the originating end...
 
...and if you'll notice, we're using "Line 5" to "Line 8" because I've already had them move the 4 lines from the COMBO card in slot 1 to the COMBO card in slot 2. So the lines work, and they've been re-connected to different line ports on the IPO.
 
do all the analogue lines have the same outgoing id?

Nope, it sees the line as Idle, it just can't seize it. I would pull the plug out the system and test on the end of that, it's either pinned wrong or doesn't work, testing with a different lead doesn't prove much. Also moving the working line into that port and the non working line into port 9 and retesting will show what the fault follows :)

smokinjoe: No, they all have unique IDs. 801-808, we're using 801-804 (which had been assigned to lines 1-4 on the first COMBO). During troubleshooting, I had the locals move the lines to the second card (lines 5-8) and moved the IDs around with them.
 
Not ID's, "outgoing line group" ..it's a different field/setting :)

I had the locals move the lines to the second card (lines 5-8) and moved the IDs around with them.

That's not how you do it, you may have messed up your config, post it somewhere and we can check it :)

try to renumber the lines starting at 805-808, save and reboot and see if this fixes it,amriddle is right this is most likely causing your problems

Why didn't you move them to the other card then disable the first 4 line ports?
 
As the locals were physically moving the cards, I changed the config accordingly (at least to the best of my limited knowledge of the IPO platform)....

Before:
Line: 1 Incoming ID: 0 Outgoing ID: 0 Line Appearance ID: 801
Line: 2 Incoming ID: 0 Outgoing ID: 0 Line Appearance ID: 802
Line: 3 Incoming ID: 0 Outgoing ID: 0 Line Appearance ID: 803
Line: 4 Incoming ID: 0 Outgoing ID: 0 Line Appearance ID: 804
Line: 5 Incoming ID: 1 Outgoing ID: 1 Line Appearance ID: 805
Line: 6 Incoming ID: 1 Outgoing ID: 1 Line Appearance ID: 806
Line: 7 Incoming ID: 1 Outgoing ID: 1 Line Appearance ID: 807
Line: 8 Incoming ID: 1 Outgoing ID: 1 Line Appearance ID: 808

After:
Line: 1 Incoming ID: 1 Outgoing ID: 1 Line Appearance ID: 805
Line: 2 Incoming ID: 1 Outgoing ID: 1 Line Appearance ID: 806
Line: 3 Incoming ID: 1 Outgoing ID: 1 Line Appearance ID: 807
Line: 4 Incoming ID: 1 Outgoing ID: 1 Line Appearance ID: 808
Line: 5 Incoming ID: 0 Outgoing ID: 0 Line Appearance ID: 801
Line: 6 Incoming ID: 0 Outgoing ID: 0 Line Appearance ID: 802
Line: 7 Incoming ID: 0 Outgoing ID: 0 Line Appearance ID: 803
Line: 8 Incoming ID: 0 Outgoing ID: 0 Line Appearance ID: 804

 
As for it possibly being a pinout issue... I can tie up all 4 lines simultaneously with inbound calls. I doubt I'd have a copper issue going out that doesn't also exist coming in....
 
overthebars: That's EXACTLY what I've done. I moved the lines from the first COMBO to the second COMBO. They still have the problem (simultaneous outbound only).
 
smokinjoe: I changed Incoming and Outgoing IDs also. See my reply above witt "Before" and "After" details of the physical and logical line relocations.
 
Incoming working and not outbound means a config issue(you didn't say incoming was working before) rather than us ask every possible setting and feature that can effect/cause this it's easier to post your config :)

Unfortunatley I cannot access file sharing sites like dropbox via our corporate proxy. I'll try to find a way to get it to you and post a link as soon as I can find a solution. Thanks for all the help everyone!
