asterisk users - Apr 2005 - New PRI install with new te110p

Getting this error on a new install, I am lost since this is my first time 
messing with the te110p and my first PRI install.

I have signalling=pri_cpe as the Digium docs suggest, when I start Asterisk 
I get this over and over:

  == Primary D-Channel on span 1 down
Apr 13 01:30:08 WARNING[10128]: chan_zap.c:2054 pri_find_dchan: No 
D-channels available!  Using Primary on channel anyway 24!


If I change signalling to pri_net the errors go away, either way I can 
receive calls into Asterisk.


How should the signalling be set, to cpe or net?

Any idea what's causing this error?

I am not entirely sure my PRI is 100% up even, * seems to be talking to it 
because when I pull the cable it starts giving me alerts and such, the 
alerts go away when I plug the cable back in.

Of course the telco is waiting for me to call them so we can test the PRI 
against my equipment.. I guess they expect me to have known working 
equipment.. Well, it would help if I had a known working PRI to test and 
tweak my * box against..

SIGH..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The telco hasn't turned up your D channel yet.

When you're pri_net you are creating the D channel, but if you're
connected to
a telco there is no way you'd receive calls in this configuration.

You're the CPE.

The T1 is likely up, which is what makes the LED on the back go green.  When 
you pull the cable, the T1 is down and Asterisk tells you this.

PRI is signaling on top of the T1.  You can have the T1 up and have no D 
channel.  Wait for your telco to tell you the PRI is provisioned and up (they 
usually work with you on the phone while they provision it, because there are 
a few test calls made and so on).

Now if you are able to receive calls into asterisk in this state...  then 
colour me confused.
