asterisk users - Sep 2007 - Problems Connecting Two Asterisk Installs ViaISDN PRI Cards

Have you tried to load the driver with ec disable? Last time (long time
ago) when I was working on a quad card, we weren't able to get ec to
work with hardware ec on.

ViaISDN PRI Cards


Okay. I ordered a commercially made T1 crossover cable, connected all of
the cables and rebooted both computers. 

I no longer get the 'Got S-frame while link down' or 'HDLC Bad
FCS'
errors. However, I still receive the series of 'Detected alarm on
channel NN: Red Alarm' and 'Unable to disable echo cancellation on
channel NN'. Followed by the alarms clearing. 

At this point I am confident that the cabling is not the problem. I have
included my zaptel and zapata conf files again below. 

Is there a way to make the second TE120P card pass on the timing
received from the first? (rather than using software timing for the
pri_net signalling) 

The errors all seem to be about echo cancellation... What do I need to
do to force asterisk to never disable echo cancellation?

Thanks again for all of the help. Even though we have not found a
solution yet I appreciate the help - and am still confident we will
succeed!
