asterisk users - Apr 2005 - TE405p PRI ISDN [E1] RED Recovering ?

Hi yet again everyone,

I've installed 4 E1 lines into a TE405p and its almost done.  3 of the 4 
E1 lines are now working perfectly (many thanks to Andres who told me 
about NFAS).

But I'm having problems with one E1 line (span # 4).  When I cat 
/proc/zaptel/4 I get one of two messages in the first line:
Span 4: TE4/0/4 "TE410P (PCI) Card 0 Span 4" HDB3/CCS/CRC4 RECOVERING 
ClockSource
Span 4: TE4/0/4 "TE410P (PCI) Card 0 Span 4" HDB3/CCS/CRC4 RED
RECOVERING

And span 4 isn't showing channels at all in *.  I'm guessing that the 
"RECOVERING" is not good.  The Telco has told me that I have a 
configuration problem and that the error message on their end is "Remote 
Frame".

I have this span setup just like the others.  Does anyone have any idea 
what "RECOVERING" and/or "Remote Frame" means?

Thanks very much,

Derek

What you appear to have is a local "red" alert, i.e. a loss of
received
carrier. You will in turn transmit the alarm state blindly to the other 
side that sees it as a remote alarm. 

So, most probably you are not hearing the remote end correctly. Recovering 
I assume means that it hears some frames correctly, but not enough to kick 
out of red alarm state.
