Unavailable for new calls when phones are ringing

Hello all,

We are using freepbx with one incoming trunk and one ring group with a couple of phones.

When we are receiving a call and we are not answering the call in 20 seconds or when all extensions are busy or not available or on do not disturb the call is forwarded to a mobile phone.
This is by design and works fine.

But when we are receiving a call and all the phones are ringing and at the same time another call comes in we are unreachable for the second call and this call transfers to the mobile phone.
This is because Asterisk says all the extensions are busy because of ExtensionState: 8

Has anybody any idea how to prevent this behaviour ?

Below a piece of logfile.
This happends with every extension.
The phones we are using are Yealink phones

why don’t you use a queue instead of a ring group? that way the call will get queued and not get transferred until they get blown out of the queue.
