Calls come in to intermittent dead air, then a ring or to a fast busy. CTX100 has a T1 card that shows calls coming in only when they get a ring after 30-45 seconds of dead air. Calls that go to fast busy never show on the PBX. T1 has minimal ES(10 a day maybe) and ES does not necessarily correspond to dead air phenomenon. T1 card was swapped, config reloaded, etc.; no change. LEC refuses to swap T1 pairs, CLEC(Time Warner) says it's the switch but has done limited if any monitoring or call status because it's so intermittent. Client is ready to sue CLEC to void contract as this is a 9 month old problem and getting worse. PBX reboots do not fix problem, only waiting it out. Two channels(voice) were dropped last year and might correspond to the start of this problem. Might this be an issue? Would adding them to the data channels fix this? Or? Any help is appreciated.

There's a strong chance that your intermittent symptoms of hearing long periods of 'silence/dead air' can be isolated to one or more faulty T1 channels. It would be worthwhile to focus on the current state of these 2 specific original voice channels, and if they were in fact correctly 'dropped'. In your situation, it may be worthwhile to have these 2 channels reassigned for either voice or data, then see if the symptoms continue.

5Etek-mike has a good point. First of all, the only time you hear a 'fast busy' is when equipment does not know what to do with a call. It cannot terminate it. So call sits and floats.

When you hear dead-air however that is usually because the CPE has in fact seized the call, so the carrier sees the calls as successfully terminated and stops supervision on it, yet the CPE isn't properly programmed to accept calls on that trunk and also isn't set up to generate a fast busy.

Or it can be for example, the carrier still has a trunk-group set up that sends calls to the channels that got removed-- in which case, they think the call is terminated, but it isn't. The call is essentially lost, because no call-supervision is managing the call after it is "terminated" to that trunk-group. That would also explain some of the intermittency-- based on how the trunk-group is being hunted.
