Cisco Dial Peer for POTS?

[ajf]

Me again

Been reading a bit more about voice and started configuring a basic setup for dialling on and out on my pstn line.
The router is a 2621xm with a NM-2V and a VIC-2FXO card.

I added the following config:

voice-port 1/0/0
connection plar 1000 - which I understand makes incoming calls ring on ext 1000

Then added a dial peer:

dial-peer voice 1 pots
destination-pattern 9T - using 9 for outside line and T should be any number?
port 1/0/0
prefix 9,

Now if I ring IN, the correct extension rings, BUT continues to ring even if I hang up on external phone (my mobile). If I answer then hang up it does not disconnect the call.
I cannot dial out at all:
If I dial 9 then my mobile number I get a recording, this account number is not valid

This is all completely new and I am learning and reading as I go along but so far what I have done does not seem to be wrong based on the examples I have seen.

Any help?!

I have ordered the Cisco CCNA Voice book which I hope might help but I often prefer to learn as I go and try to make it do what I am after rather than just read through a book.

Not a Cisco Voice expert at all, but the not clearing down sounds like the public network signaling is misconfigured. wirth looking at the disconnect timeouts and check the signaling type is correct. Some countries use different signaling and quite often CO Trunk interfaces support multiple types.
