Due to some failed hardware on another platform, I've had to move a T100P card to a different chassis. After this move was completed, I am seeing some strange results on the T100P card that do not display to me any failure mode with which I am familiar. The card comes up, and shows "good" carrier and status, but Asterisk refuses to bring the D-channel up. Calls of course do not complete, inbound or outbound. The configuration on the system is identical to what I had on the same PRI before I disconnected it. The PRI checks out clean when connected to another Asterisk system. So, it must be something with this particular motherboard or hardware configuration, but is there anything I can do to solve the problem?

Searches through the archives and Google do not show anything relevant on this error message that I was able to find.

Hardware Specs:
 - Intel 440GX+ motherboard
 - 500mhz PIII processor
 - 1u case (horizontal PCI card - no, it's not shorting out)

If I run asterisk -vvvvvvvvgcd I get a whole slew of these lines (all identical) in the stderr output:

DEBUG[13326]: File chan_zap.c, Line 6201 (pri_dchannel): Got event No event (0) on D-channel for span 1

From dmesg:

Well, that was interesting. I suppose I won't put "." characters on a line by themselves any more, since that is the SMTP "end of file" character. I've never seen that actually chop up a message, though...


Here is the same transmission content, slightly altered:

zttool shows "no alarms" but "internally clocked" despite my configuration to take timing from the external loop. Trying to loop up the T1 from zttool results in the "Looping UP span 1..." message to simply hang on the screen, and I have to kill the process manually.


Suggestions are welcome.
