Is there a way to see error counts on the T1 of a PRI? Hooked up to
asterisk via a digium TE122. Looking for something to make sure I'm not
getting any CRC, framing or other errors on the T1.
Go on ebay and buy an ADC Kentrox DataSmart 658 for less than $100
dollars. The 658 has an ethernet port for management and grabbing
the stats of the T1 line itself.
For an ISDN T1 PRI, set channels 1-23 to T1 Voice and Channel
24 to T1 Data, otherwise the B channel won't come up. You may
need a DB15male and a DB15female to RJ45 adapters as not all of
these units on Ebay come with them. The T1 from the phone company
connects to the Network connector(db15 male on the unit) and the
Terminal connector (db15 female) goes to Asterisk. These units
started appearing on Ebay at the under $100 price mark about a year
ago or so.
Nice tip, though I won't be buying one for each of my 26 spans. :-)
To the OP: if you're willing to open the box, there is usually a DB-9s
on the front of the smartjack you can plug your laptop into... it's
not actually "your" interface, but it will give you the numbers.
You also run the risk of screwing up the span, which I do not assume
hereby. :-)

Around here, the telco locks that cabinet and there is a user
id/password required to use that craft interface. (I have a key, but
then I worked for the telco for 23 years and have a few insider tools
laying around)
