[Asterisk-Users] T1 configuration, getting help via IRC?
In my * server I have a T100P, connected with a T1 crossover cable to an Adtran TA750 with 2 FXO cards. After I do 'modprobe wct1xxp;ztcfg' the alarm on the card starts blinking red. Running zttool confirmed that yes, it is a red alarm. I've read a few previous posts on this type of setup and I'm not too much closer. What should I be checking next? A different cable? The config on the TA750? The TA750 has been reset to one of the default setups. ESF framing, b8zs encoding. Configs: [root@rosella root]# cat /etc/zaptel.conf span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs fxsks=1-8 [root@rosella cepcion]# /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted wct1xxp 13760 0 (unused) zaptel 181984 0 [wct1xxp] autofs 13780 0 (autoclean) (unused) tg3 57608 2 (... etc ...)

Loopback should always make your status LEDs glow steady green. If that's not working then you've got other problems.> span=1,0,0,esf,b8zsI'd always prefer to clock off of the channel bank; chances are its internal clock is higher stratum than anything on the T100P. :-)> On another topic, I've tried connecting to irc.freenode.net to join the > #asterisk channel.

Anyone else encounter this issue?You need to register with freenode. hop on freenode, then /msg nickserv help for instructions on how to register. bkw_ set the channel mode to require registered accounts to try and stop the spam bots from constantly disrupting the channel. -A.
