ISDN Cause Codes
Cause No. 0
This is usually given by the router when none of the other codes apply. This cause usually occurs in the same type of situations as cause 1, cause 88, and cause 100.
Cause No. l - Unallocated (unassigned) number.
This cause indicates that the destination requested by the calling user cannot be reached because, although the number is in a valid format, it is not currently assigned (allocated).
What it usually means:
1. The SPIDS may be incorrectly entered in the router or the Telco switch, giving a SPID failure in the router logs.
2. The ISDN phone number being dialed by the router is invalid and the telco switch cannot locate the number to complete the call, as it is invalid.
3. On long distance calls, the call cannot be properly routed to its destination.
Cause No. 2 - No route to specified transit network (national use).
This cause indicates that the equipment sending this cause has received a request to route the call through a particular transit network which it does not recognize. The equipment sending this cause does not recognize the transit network either because the transit network does not exist or because that particular transit
Cause No. 3 - No route to destination.
This cause indicates that the called party cannot be reached because the network through which the call has been routed does not serve the destination desired. This cause is supported on a network dependent basis.
Cause No. 4 - send special information tone.
This cause indicates that the called party cannot be reached for reasons that are of a long term nature and that the special information tone should be returned to the calling party.
Cause No. 5 - misdialed trunk prefix (national use).
This cause indicates the erroneous inclusion of a trunk prefix in the called party number. This number is to sniped from the dialed number being sent to the network by the customer premises equipment.
Cause No. 6 - channel unacceptable.
This cause indicates that the channel most recently identified is not acceptable to the sending entity for use in this call.
Cause No. 7 - call awarded. being delivered in an established channel.
This cause indicates that the user has been awarded the incoming call and that the incoming call is being connected to a channel already established to that user for similar calls (e.g. packet-mode x.25 virtual calls).
Cause No. 8 - preemption.
This cause indicates the call is being preempted.
Cause No. 9 - preemption - circuit reserved for reuse.
This cause indicates that the call is being preempted and the circuit is reserved for reuse by the preempting exchange.
Cause No. 16 - normal call clearing.
This cause indicates that the call is being cleared because one of the users involved in the call has requested that the call be cleared.
What it means:
This could be almost anything; it is the vaguest of the cause codes. The call comes down normally, but the reasons for it could be:
1. Bad username or password
2. Router's settings do not match what is expected by the remote end. 3. Telephone line problems.
4. Hung session on remote end.
Cause No. 17 - user busy.
This cause is used to indicate that the called party is unable to accept another call because the user busy condition has been encountered. This cause value may be generated by the called user or by the network. In
What is means: Calling end is busy.
Cause No. 18 - no user responding.
This cause is used when a called party does not respond to a call establishment message with either an alerting or connect indication within the prescribed period of time allocated.
What it means:
The equipment on the other end does not answer the call. Usually this is a misconfiguration on the equipment being called.
Cause No. 19 - no answer from user (user alerted).
This cause is used when the called party has been alerted but does not respond with a connect indication within a prescribed period of time. Note - This cause is not necessarily generated by Q.931 procedures but
Cause No. 20 - subscriber absent.
This cause value is used when a mobile station has logged off. Radio contact is not obtained with a mobile station or if a personal telecommunication user is temporarily not addressable at any user-network interface.
Cause No. 21 - call rejected.
This cause indicates that the equipment sending this cause does not wish to accept this call. although it could have accepted the call because the equipment sending this cause is neither busy nor incompatible. This cause may also be generated by the network, indicating that the call was cleared due to a supplementary service
What it means:
This is usually a telco issue. The call never reaches the final destination, which can be caused by a bad switch translation, or a misconfiguration on the equipment being called.
Cause No. 22 - number changed.
This cause is returned to a calling party when the called party number indicated by the calling party is no longer assigned. The new called party number may optionally be included in the diagnostic field. If a network
Cause No. 26 - non-selected user clearing.
This cause indicates that the user has not been awarded the incoming call.
Cause No. 27 - destination out of order.
This cause indicates that the destination indicated by the user cannot be reached because the interface to the destination is not functioning correctly. The term "not functioning correctly" indicates that a signal message was unable to be delivered to the remote party; e.g., a physical layer or data link layer failure at the remote
Cause No. 28 - invalid number format (address incomplete).
This cause indicates that the called party cannot be reached because the called party number is not in a valid format or is not complete.
This cause is returned when a supplementary service requested by the user cannot be provide by the network.
Cause No. 30 - response to STATUS INQUIRY.
This cause is included in the STATUS message when the reason for generating the STATUS message was the prior receipt of a STATUS INQUIRY.
Cause No. 31 - normal. unspecified.
This cause is used to report a normal event only when no other cause in the normal class applies.
Cause No. 34 - no circuit/channel available.
This cause indicates that there is no appropriate circuit/channel presently available to handle the call.
What it means:
There is no place on the Public Telephone network to place the call; the call never gets to its destiation. This is usually a temporary problem.
Cause No. 35 - Call Queued.
Cause No. 38 - network out of order.
This cause indicates that the network is not functioning correctly and that the condition is likely to last a relatively long period of time e.g., immediately re-attempting the call is not likely to be successful.
Cause No. 39 - permanent frame mode connection out-of-service.
This cause is included in a STATUS message to indicate that a permanently established frame mode connection is out-of-service (e.g. due to equipment or section failure)
Cause No. 40 - permanent frame mode connection operational.
This cause is included in a STATUS message to indicate that a permanently established frame mode connection is operational and capable of carrying user information.
Cause No. 41 - temporary failure.
This cause indicates that the network is not functioning correctly and that the condition is no likely to last a long period of time; e.g., the user may wish to try another call attempt almost immediately.
What it means:
This means that there is a temporary failure at the physical layer on the ISDN network. If you remove the ISDN cable from the Netopia, you would see this. It's usually temporary.
Cause No. 42 - switching equipment congestion.
This cause indicates that the switching equipment generating this cause is experiencing a period of high traffic.
What it means:
Just too much going on at this point on the ISDN network to get the call through to its destination.
Cause No. 43 - access information discarded.
This cause indicates that the network could not deliver access information to the remote user as requested. i.e., user-to-user information, low layer compatibility, high layer compatibility or sub-address as indicated in
Cause No. 44 - requested circuit/channel not available.
This cause is returned when the circuit or channel indicated by the requesting entity cannot be provided by the other side of the interface.
