The second (and completely different) step is getting the D-channel to come up. What did Qwest say when you told them that you're not seeing the D-channel come up on the circuit? It's been my experience with Qwest PRIs that you have to call them and have them reset a few things on their switch to get the D-channel to come up. -- Jared Smith Training Manager Digium, Inc.
1. Ditch the channels= in zaptel.conf that doesnt belong there (you've done the channel config with the bchan= and dchan2. your span= should *probably* be 1,1 instead of 1,0 in zaptel.conf the 2nd "1" indicates to use that span as a primary timing source 3. not that it should matter, but you don;t need the duplicate group=, signalling=, switchtype= in zapata.conf 4. you can ditch rxwink= that setting is for non-PRI T1s try that and see if that helps... I suspect the span not being used as primary timing source is whats causing your greif. good luck! -- Matt Watson http://www.mattgwatson.ca On June 10, 2008 05:22:40 pm Christopher Hoff wrote:> I'm trying to get a Qwest PRI configured and working with my lab > Asterisk server.

"channels" is a valid zaptel.conf line, but will configure those channels for use with pciradio.
