you could try setting the * box to pull timing from each pri connected to it and set the nortel to be a master for that circuit and see if that helps any

Greetings, everyone, and Happy New Year!

I have a question relating to running two PRIs into a single TE411P. We have been experiencing echo, noisy MOH, poor audio call quality and so forth that started at around the time we introduced the second PRI into the equation. Here is our zaptel.conf:

span=1,2,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=1-23
dchan=24
#clear=1-24
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

span=2,1,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=25-27
dchan=48
#clear=1-24
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

And here is our zapata.conf:

[trunkgroups]

[channels]

context=incoming
usecallingpres=yes
echocancel=128
callerid=asreceived
usecallerid=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=500

; Nortel PBX
rxgain=2.0
txgain=-17.0
group=1
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
switchtype=national
signalling=pri_net
facilityenable=yes
channel => 1-23

; Allstream PRI
rxgain=-2.0
txgain=-17.0
group=2
callgroup=2
pickupgroup=2
switchtype=dms100
signalling=pri_cpe
facilityenable=no
channel => 25-27

musiconhold=default

We are master to the Nortel PBX, which gets its clocking from Telus (a telco), and slave to the Allstream (another telco), from where the Asterisk gets its clocking.

We have been through the IRQ/APIC/hyperthreading thing already, and our gain levels were set using ztmonitor. zttest gives Best: 100.000000 -- Worst: 99.987793 -- Average: 99.998923 after 885 passes. We have another, identical server that plays MOH with no problems without a PRI attached (presumably using internal clocking), and that same server and another similar server had no issues for months with only one PRI attached (one had the Nortel and one had the Allstream, with an IAX trunk between them).

Is it possible that the two PRIs have timing differences between them that could cause problems? If so, how best could we resolve them?
