E&M route back problem
i've connected the two PBX thogther throught two port E&M on each side router for each pbx.
inter router link is 100% no problem.
the destination pattern i've specified is "T" which gives variable 31 no and # as terminator
signal is immediate
operation is 4 wire
type is 5
the way to dial to the other pbx is first we have to dial the trunk or E&M line access no for example "80" and then the extension
the problem i'm having is that some time when i dial to the remote pbx instead the call going to remote pbx it use to route back to local pbx through the second e&m port
i.e in short thr call is going through one port and routing back through the second port of same router instead of going to the far end router
the extension on both pbx are same i.e if one got 2014 ext then this ext will also be on the other side pbx and dial the remote ext we first have to dial the access code of the E&M.
plz help
i'll be very thankful to u

one pbx is of MITEL 2xxx and other is alcatel
routers are 1760 each equiped with 2 port e&M card
the connection b/w the router is through radio modems of 2meg speed
i've checked the link its 100% reliable with no crcs or any timeout during ping

A few things:
The "T" in the destination pattern causes the router to pause to collect x number of digits, the . is the wildcard, so essentially what might be happening is that you are specifiying any string of digits to be recieved, then the router pauses (default vaule for T settinf is 10 secs), then the router makes the call. This timing issue might be causiing the remote pbx to appear busy, which causes the router to hairpin the call to the local pbx it came from.
Few ways to confirm this, disconnect the E&M lines from the Alcatel, then from the Mitel, dial the Alcatel over the E&M tie trunks, what is the result, I suspect you will ring back into the Mitel.
Need some addtional information:
Entire config of both routers, digit length of extenstions for Mitel and Alcatel systems
Are the Tie trunks just for connectivity between these two sites?

From a good old fashion telephony perspective, if your length for digits for either system does not exceed lets say 5 digits, I would create a destination pattern that allowed any 5 digits, but no more. Also since you have two different manufactures PBX's, I would recommend that you use wink-start signaling instead of immeadiate. Every PBX implements things a different way just a little, for example, the interdigit timing on the Mitel is different than on the Alcatel.

Joel_Sisko you said about T now instead of waiting for 10 sec the T comes with a default terminator # for example if i put 8 digit no and press # router will not wait for interdigit timout it will immedialely call
both pbx got 4 digit extension ,one 1 digit no and one two digit no for example : 2014,55,0 <--- most common used ext in this network
also one thing to mension is that both pbx got same ext on them
example 2014, 2015 etc will be available on both pbx
reason why i put T is at one end the pbx is further connected to other pbx so access those i need a varable no dest pattern

Yes you are correct about the # being used with the dial string. Based upon your information, you stated that both PBX's have the same exact extenstion numbers, therefore supporting your reason for a varaible extenstion. Is this correct? You also stated "reason why i put T is at one end the pbx is further connected to other pbx so access those i need a varable no dest pattern", is this correct so far?
Few questions, when you go to dial an extenstionon the Alcatel from the Mitel, you have to dial a trunk access code to gain the E&M trunks, what code is that? I have to assume that you dial a code, because if both PBX have the same extenstion numbers, and dialed X2014, the PBX would ring the local extenstion. So assuming that you dial an access code, the digits recieved by the router are meant only to reach an extenstion at the other location. Looking at it this way you would be better creating a dial peer that allows for up to 4 digits and thats it. In designing any dial plan you want to use the KISS method (Keep It Simple and Stupid). Please understand that I am not saying your users are not able to use the # to terminate the call, on average most will not, just my expirience coming to play.
So do the following:
Change E&M signaling to Wink-Start (this provides reliability, immediate does not)
Change the destination pattern if you can based upon assumed configuration above.
Also did iyou try testing the configuration by disconnecting the E&M lines at one end to see if hairpins back.
Keep me posted.

Added thought, if you cannot get around using T , then we could adjust the default time out to less than what it is now.

i gota check these changes u have suggested
please wait i 'll u as soon as ihave done it
again about variable dest pattern is just to get through to other pbx
all the exts on mitel and alcatel r 4 digit no start with 2***
both got ext 0 for operator
got ext 55 for telco dept
thats all
from alcatel to mitel i have to dial 43 and then the desired ext
from mitel to alcatel ihad to dial 80 and then the desired ext
one thing that comes in my mind is that both the e&m line on alcatel got same access code i.e, 43 and so is on the mitel i.e, 80
i'll check it too by changing to some different nos
one that ihave checked is that when both trunks are free then this route back thing happens
when one of them is used call take place perfectly

Based upon your last post about when the E&M circuits are idle, I woul dmove towards using Wink-start, maybe for one reason or another that the E&M links on the pbx or router are going into some form of idle state that is interperted as being unavaliable by the pbx or router.
By using Wink-start you enable a handshake prior to transmitting, this might be enought to "wake" up the circuit so to speak.

The make/model of PBX's attached to each router, model of routers being used, connection between the two routers.
To Pararphase problem:
Calls from PBX to PBX across E&M Tie trunks work most of the time, but every now and then the call routes from port a on router 1 to port B on router 1.
Can you post the configs for the routers?
