I understand what is going on, but not how to fix it. Essentially we have these emergency call boxes. Someone hits the button and the call box goes off-hook and hits a blank translation pattern we have set up to PLAR the call to an emergency call system. The system picks up and the call proceeds correctly. However, if the system end hangs up, leaving the call box still off-hook, the call-box side doesn't seem to transition into the on-hook state. It's like it quickly goes on-hook and then back off-hook or something because it hits the PLAR translation pattern again and calls back. This happens in a never-ending loop until we find a way to make the call box hang up first.
Is there some kind of setting to make the VG350 endpoints go back on-hook and stay on-hook as soon as the other end hangs up?
Hookflash might not be involved at all, and the phone just goes right off hook again after it receives a disconnect. I guess with FXS if off hook you will be receiving power and dial tone as long as if you are off hook.
But in my opinion the non technical problem may be why are the people answer the security phone hanging up on the caller. (Accident?) In which case maybe having the plar calling back right away is not a bad thing in the event of a accidental hang up.
Did you ever find a solution to this, i am dealing with this, i am getting ready to open a TAC case as I cannot find anything on the community of why this is happening. There seems like there should be some setting or timer. Thx

PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition) allows you to receive course credit for non-academic life experience. This may include paid employment, community work, independent study, on-the-job training, volunteering, or travel and leisure.
With the exception of general education electives, which are transcribed with a CR indicating credit, PLARs appear on your transcript in the same format as if you had taken the class. If a course normally results in a letter grade, your PLAR will appear on your transcript as a letter grade. If a course is normally graded as a pass/fail, it will appear on your transcript as a P or an F.
PLAR uses a variety of tools to help students demonstrate past learning to receive course credit. Prior learning can be acquired through informal study, work, and life experiences that are not recognized by formal credit transfer mechanisms. The student must pay a non-refundable assessment fee and learning will be evaluated by an assessor through various challenge methods.
Transfer Credit or Exemptions involve transferring previous credits from a recognized educational institution through transcripts and course outlines. Please click Academic Registration & Records for more information.
Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition (PLAR) is the assessment and evaluation of learning, acquired through work and life experiences, for which credit is granted. Mohawk College uses two general approaches to assess learning outside the traditional classroom:
Most people who apply for PLAR have significant work and life experience. You must receive approval from your Academic Area prior to registration. It is up to you to demonstrate that you have achieved the learning outcomes of the course. Credits earned through PLAR do not guarantee entry into a Program of Studies. Candidates must follow normal admission procedures.
Students who have failed credit courses, or have been unsuccessful in a previous challenge, do not qualify for PLAR unless one year has lapsed and additional learning is demonstrated. The Academic Area has the discretion to deny a PLAR request.
Credits through PLAR are determined on a course-match basis. The assessment process is determined by the academic area. This may require a challenge exam and/or portfolio. Additional demonstration of learning may be requested at the assessor's discretion. References may be contacted to verify sources of documentation. Assessors will make all reasonable efforts to transcribe credits through PLAR in the same way as the course.
Most courses are eligible for PLAR. Courses ineligible for PLAR are usually indicated on the course outline. Candidates are permitted to obtain a maximum of 75% program credits through PLAR. You must earn 25% of credits under the direct supervision of Mohawk College faculty.
You must contact your Program Coordinator/Program Manager, or Co-op Specialist (if considering a PLAR for a co-op credit) indicating the course(s) you want to challenge, and request approval. Once approved, complete a PLAR Registration Form (PDF) and pay the non-refundable fee. PLAR assessments may take 6-8 weeks to process. plar [at] mohawkcollege.ca (Contact Us) with any questions.
