Q850 Cause Codes

l

Unallocated (unassigned) number.
This cause indicates that the called party cannot be reached recluses although the called party number is in a valid format. It is not currently allocated (assigned).

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 network. While it does exist. does not serve the equipment which is sending this cause.

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.

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|

5

Mis-dialed 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.

6

Channel unacceptable
This cause indicates that the channel most recently identified is not acceptable to the sending entity for use in this call.

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).

8

Preemption
This cause indicates the call is being preempted.

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.

10

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. Under normal situations, the source of this cause is not the network.

14

QoR: ported number
This cause indicates that an exchange detected that the called number was ported out.

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 the case of user determined user busy it is noted that the user equipment is compatible with the call.

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.

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 may be generated by internal network timers.

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.

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 constraint. The diagnostic field may contain additional information about the supplementary service and reason for rejection.

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 does not support this cause, cause no. 1, unallocated (unassigned) number shall be used.

23

Redirection to new destination
This cause is used by a general ISUP protocol mechanism that can be invoked by an exchange that decides that the call should be set-up to a different called number. Such an exchange can invoke a redirection mechanism, by use of this cause value, to request a preceding exchange involved in the call to route the call to the new number.

24

Call rejected due to feature at the destination
This cause indicates that the call has been rejected due to feature at the destination.

25

Exchange – routing error
This cause indicates that the destination indicated by the user cannot be reached, because an intermediate exchange has released the call due to reaching a limit in executing the hop counter procedure. This cause is generated by an intermediate node, which when decrementing the hop counter value, gives the result 0.

26

Non-selected user clearing
This cause indicates that the user has not been awarded the incoming call.

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 party or user equipment off-line.

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.

29

Facilities rejected
This cause is returned when a supplementary service requested by the user cannot be provide by the network.

42

Switching equipment congestion
This cause indicates that the switching equipment generating this cause is experiencing a period of high traffic.

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 the diagnostic. It is noted that the particular type of access information discarded is optionally included in the diagnostic.

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.

46
