[asterisk-users] T1 timing errors (Frame Slips) on Nortel 61C to TE110P

I am setting up an asterisk box , my first with PRI T1 interface to a
Nortel 61C.  We have quite a bit of experience with the 61C and do most
of the programming including maintaining several other PRI interfaces in
this switch.  The problem we are having is as soon as we turn up the
PRI, on the 61C side we get PRI0264 protocol errors.  Then the circuit
lays down properly.  At this point we start accumulating SLIPR in the
61C which resets the circuit in about 5 minutes.  Below are my
configurations.

I think the configuration is right.  I have tried changing the timimg
source in zaptel.conf from 1 to 0 to no avail.  Also I can not set up
the Nortel PRI to look internal for clock.  Nortel sets up by default
CLOK = EXT.  I have tried different cross over cables.  I can point the
asterisk into a T-Berd 950N set up to turn up a PRI and it will work and
run clean on the Asterisk server.  I can loop back the Nortel PRI and it
will 'est wrong mode' and accumulate no SLIPR.  I am struggling to get
this to work.  The circuit does establish and pass calls but resets
frequently due to slips.  Dell 2850/TE110P/Asterisk business edition

help would be appreciated.

I have no experience on the Nortel side, but will comment on the timing 
thingie.

The asterisk T1 card (port going to the Nortel) will always generate T1 
timing on the transmit side of the T1. There is no way to turn it off 
(by T1 Spec's). So, letting the Nortel use CLOK = EXT is perfect.

The sync parameter in /etc/zaptel.conf for that same T1 port should 
probably be set to zero, but that statement is somewhat dependent on 
what the other ports on the Asterisk T1 card are used for. If there are 
no other Asterisk T1 card ports in use, then I'd suggest setting the 
sync parameter to "1".  If at least one other Asterisk T1 port is in
use
and goes to a central office, then turn that port's sync to "1"
and the
Nortel port sync to "0". (Keep in mind the digium T1 cards only have
one
clock on board, and syncing that clock to a T1 coming from a central 
office is the right thing to do. Once that clock is in sync, then the 
Nortel will sync to asterisk.)

I'm a little confused with your last paragraph when you say "the
circuit
does establish and pass calls but resets frequently due to slips". Are 
those calls to/from asterisk talking to the Nortel? Or, are you routing 
incoming pstn calls from the central office through asterisk to the Nortel?

Also, have you tried any of the "pri show ..." commands in asterisk,
or
any of the pri debug items?
