DTMF tones and Conferencing

Asterisk 1.8.11
FreePBX 2.10.1.1

The system is not physical, it is virtual. The system is only being used for conferencing (app_MeetMe). There is 1 extension configured that automatically forwards all calls to the custom destination that is the MeetMe setup. The server is connected via SIP to a Mitel 3300 ICP.

Everything works great if we call it from internal extensions. Calling in it picks up the bridge and PIN numbers. No problems at all. It’s when people call in from external that it kind of goes crazy. It prompts 3 times for the PIN before disconnecting. I’m not sure what logs I can provide to help troubleshoot and resolve. I did enable a higher level of logging to include DTMF. Here is a clip of some of the information.

I see a lot of the last 2 lines through out the logs. I’m trying to coorelate to see if these line up with the users who can’t get in. Could this be the problem? The system is not picking up the hash sign and just disconnects?

I’m also getting flooded from tiem to time with this:

WARNING[11906] app_meetme.c: Unable to write frame to channel SIP/-00000043

I’m not sure if that is related or not.
