Drop Reason
(cont’d)
Pre-AnsDrop The call disconnected before answer by an endpoint. 
The cause of the disconnect may be the network, an endpoint, or a 
terminal adapter. This drop reason is different from ‘No-answer,’ 
which indicates that a 60-second timeout occurred while alerting. In 
this case, the call drops before the 60-second timer has expired. 
Some busy endpoints connected through terminal adapters display 
this behavior.
Resource MCU could not provide resources (VC or MMI) when the 
call arrived or lost the resources during the call. This could be due to 
them being Out of Service, busied out by craft, or being used by 
system maintenance. This drop reason could also occur if the 
DS1/MMI cable is disconnected. If there was a resource problem 
when the call arrived, it would get reorder (fast busy) and not get 
disconnected by the MCU.
Password Either the user entered the wrong password or the audio 
add-on user did not enter it within the specified time period. Note that 
the audio add-on user gets one attempt to enter a correct password 
and inter-digit timing for each digit (that is, about 10 seconds 
between digits).
System An MCU restart (level 2) disconnected all calls.
UIN-Inv The user entered an invalid User Identification Number.
Unknown The system could not determine the cause of the 
disconnect.
Wrong-num This dial-out drop reason occurs when the MCU detects 
the wrong destination number was dialed. This drop reason is 
detected by MCU CPTR resources SDN cause value. See “Dial-out” 
for details.
UCC controller intentionally disconnected the endpoint.
Drop Code A detail code complementing the Drop Reason (see above). 
Additional bonding related information may be obtained from 
supplementary BONDing Drop Codes described above.
AC Num Administered Connection Number - from 1 to 128. AC number can be 
used to further diagnose a problem by combining status conference 
information with the status administered connection command and 
data stored in the error and alarm logs. 
Ports Trunk The data endpoint that the channel is using.
Ports Video The MMI port for the channel.
