The framing is ESF/B8ZS. But I have had some luck and have gotten to the point where when dialed from Asterisk, the digits reach the telrad switch and the DID that I have configured in the telrad switch works and rings the right extensions. However, when I do the reverse, there are NO digits reaching the asterisk. Finally things worked by using e&m in zaptel.conf and em_w in Zapata.conf.
I would appreciate if someone can help me figure out what could be the problem in receiving the digits from the telrad switch/pbx. I am very sure that the telrad part is working fine as I see that when I dial out, it picks up a trunk channel from the T1 connected to asterisk and dials. So it is to do with the asterisk part not reading the digits.
Thanks

What about framing? ESF/B8ZS vs D4/AMI?

As suggested by you, I have tried the timing parameter with 0 an 1 both
> but
to no avail.
Signalling I have tried are both em_w and featd (suggested by digium tech
support).
Zap show channels shows all 24 channels to be ok with no alarms.
Zttool also confirms that.
The problem is that the pbx (telrad) does not even seem to sense the T1

is plugged in. No yellow and no green. Only the RED LED glows. But when I
try a T1 loopback plugged into that the card turns green on telrad
suggesting that the card is fine. (T1 loopback build using a small
> connector
with 1 to 4 and 2 to 5 connected).
Also regarding timing, I do have 2 X100Ps installed so I wonder if this
needs to be primary source of timing?
As I mentioned earlier I am getting a GREEN on asterisk side (TE405P card)
while a red on the pbx side (TELRAD)
Any thoughts?
