CO can see outbound digits but call drops before it connects.
Detailed message says "Normal Call Cleared".
Getting alarm 44-0.
Customer is switching from a channel bank with 6 pots lines feeding the system to a fractional T-1 feeding a CSU/DSU (hope thats the right term) that splits out voice and data circuits. Data circuit works fine.

ed8020 posted the question for me, at the time I had no internet access. I had the telco monitor the 6 channels and I placed calls out. They saw the phone number I dialed but the call drops and on the display on the phone it says "normal cleared call". Inbound did route fine. Is the card bad or did I miss a setup program?
From the Norstar Alarm an d Event Code Manual:
40 The long term alarm threshold has been surpassed in the DTI for the Unavailable Seconds Error. Most likely an irregularity with the PSTN connections. Check the logs and look for events ranging from 315-336. If this alarm occurs more than once over a two-week period, contact your local support group.

Please check your logs on site and post them. It certainly appears from Norstar advice that this is a PSTN problem, not one you caused. You really do need the extra events log to get a clue as to what is happening.

If you put one of those dial tones straight from the channel bank into a single line phone (or clip on with a butt set), do you get the same problem? If so, it has to be the PSTN or the channel bank.

Its easy enough to have the carrier switch a channel bank.

All you need is a little detective work. Document as much as you can from the logs and the single line phone test and let us know what happened.

You can get the Norstar Alarm and Events codes from: https://www.nev-comm.com/NorstarAlarmCodesEvents.htm

Awful handy to have around if you print it out and keep it for when you need it, like now.

Also it has no mention of "Normal Call Cleared"

What CSU/DSU device are you using, Adtran? Name and model number? Have you called their tech support?
