We've changed E1 providers and I'm trying to reconfigure an E400P to make it work with the new lines. They're supposedly "standard" EuroISDN lines (in the UK). I'm initially just trying to get a single line up. I have the following in /etc/zaptel.conf: span=1,0,0,ccs,hdb3 bchan=1-15 dchan=16 bchan=17-31 loadzone=uk defaultzone=uk The LED on the back of the card shows red/green simultaneously when you ztcfg it. Asterisk itself spews messages to the console like so: == D-Channel on span 1 up == D-Channel on span 1 up == D-Channel on span 1 up == D-Channel on span 1 up == D-Channel on span 1 down == D-Channel on span 1 up == D-Channel on span 1 up == D-Channel on span 1 up == D-Channel on span 1 up == D-Channel on span 1 down (Always four ups and then a down a bit later, followed by a pause, then the same again.) Changing span=1,0,0,css,hdb3 to use crc4 causes Asterisk to throw lots of yellow alarms when it starts. Putting a 1 in the timing field makes no discernable difference. The guy who tested the lines isn't very clueful - he just plugs in his gear and puts a tick in the box, but he's pretty sure it uses hdb3 coding. CAS framing makes the LED go RED. Anyone give me a clue here? -- Alastair Maw <al.maw@mxtelecom.com> MX Telecom - Systems Analyst http://www.mxtelecom.com
If your proider is using a System-X switch don't bother the e400p does not work correctly with those, you need a te410p and your problem sounds like that. the e400p has a framer that is not compatible with some switches. sorry to tell yoyu that Michael On Friday 12 September 2003 5:43 pm, Alastair Maw wrote:> We've changed E1 providers and I'm trying to reconfigure an E400P to > make it work with the new lines.

Can you post "pri intense debug span 1" from the console ?

Try adding ",crc4" to the end of the span definition.
