asterisk users - Jun 2007 - Zaptel wct2xxp driver causes LEDs to go black and RED alarm

Hi there,

I've got two Asterisk hosted PBX servers with Digium TE210P cards 
attached by a E1 cable to Port 1 on each.  On startup, both cards flash 
red, alternating between ports 1 and 2.

When server #1 loads the Zaptel  module and drivers, Port 1 status LED 
goes green.  When server #2 loads the same module and drivers, Port 1 
status LED goes completely blank.  Unloading the wct2xxp module causes 
the flashing red LEDs to come back.

I've tried swapping cable ends and cards between the two machines, but 
the problem LED always stays with server #2.  So, I think there is 
something misconfigured with server #2, but the configuration file on 
both servers is identical.

zaptel.conf:
loadzone=uk
defaultzone=uk

span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
bchan=1-15,17-31
dchan=16

span=2,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
bchan=32-46,48-62
dchan=47


Any clues what could cause a GREEN alarm on one end with a RED alarm on 
the other and no LED light as soon as the wct2xxp driver is loaded?

Thanks for the help,

Have you checked to ensure the card in server #2 is jumpered for E1?
