[Asterisk-Users] Legacy PBX Integration and Zaptel.conf Timing Source
My Setup looks like this: Mitel 200 SX (1st T1) -------- Bell South (2nd T1) | | | Digium TE110P Asterisk MITEL CONFIGURATION Primary Timing Source: 1st T1 Card Secondary Timing Source: 2nd T1 Card ASTERISK CONFIGURATION span=1,1,0,d4,ami (Look to the Span for timing) We are getting a lot of Frame and Slip errors.... Time Slip Frame 7:00 736 950 8:00 690 1200 9:00 437 762 10:00 500 913 ....and then the 2nd Mitel T1 card takes itself offline once the threshold is hit (usually every 18 hours). What is the proper way to setup timing in this scenario? I have tried setting it both ways: 1) span=1,0,0,d4,ami (Provide timing for the span) 2) span=1,1,0,d4,ami (Look to the Span for timing) And I get the same amount of errors either way. (1) Asterisk set as timing source will cause problems with the 2nd T12 card in Mitel since it will be receiving timing from the Asterisk as well as the 1st T1 card in the Mitel. (2) Asterisk set to expect timing from the Mitel. The 2nd T1 card is expecting timing from the 1st Mitel T1 card and the Asterisk is expecting timing from the 2nd T1 card. Does that sound like it could cause a problem? I don't think the Asterisk server will try to get it's timing from the 1st Mitel T1 and I don't think the 2nd Mitel T1 card will pass along it's timing from the 1st to the Asterisk. I think the solution is to remove the entry in the Mitel that sets the 2nd T1 card as the secondary source for timing. Sound about right? Thanks!
