Many thanks for the help. Please see my inline comments.

Exactly what I was about to say Steve. The numbers won't change. They are configured when the driver actually detects the E1 card and it's spans. If a span goes down it doesn't disappear. Turning off the meridian would be the same as an E1 that's connected to a carrier going down. If the channel numbers changed and everything stopped working every time that happened, no one would be using asterisk. Our carrier friends are hardly 100% reliable.
Amen to that. I was hoping people would say this.
I'm going with clock source. I have a feeling that it was using span 4 for clocking and when it lost that, it broke everything...
Isn't my clocking on span 1 (span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4) rather than 4 (span=4,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4) though ?
Julian.

Sounds more likely that something happened with the clock source. You'd need to reproduce it out of hours and look at the output of pri show span x and cat /proc/zaptel/* ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on behalf of Rich Adamson Sent: Wed 15/06/2005 5:01 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Nasty little incident ...>>We have a te410p, with the following connections: >> >>span 1 connected to a 32 Channel EuroISDN >>span 2 connected to a card in a legacy pbx (Meridian) >>span 3 connected to a 10 Channel EuroISDN >>span 4 connected to a card in a legacy pbx (Meridian) >> >>We have no need for the meridian now, and decided to turn it off.

I use Dial(zap/g3) to call on the zap channels. /* zapata.conf */ context=isdn32-b prilocaldialplan=national internationalprefix = 00 nationalprefix = 0 localprefix = 01702 group=1 signalling=pri_cpe switchtype=euroisdn channel=1-15,17-31 context=meridian-b group=2 signalling=pri_net switchtype=euroisdn channel=32-46,48-62 context=isdn32-a pridialplan=unknown group=3 signalling=pri_cpe switchtype=euroisdn channel=63-77,79-93 context=meridian-a group=4 signalling=pri_net switchtype=euroisdn channel=94-108,110-124I'm sure there are others on this list that can add to this, but when the card drivers are loaded and ztfg run, the channels that are discovered have to be mapped to what's in zaptel.conf one way or another. (Moving card driver load around changes the discovered order and one must manually modify zaptel.conf to match.) Then each zap channel is defined in zapata.conf, and those definitions have to match the channel numbers resulting from the above zaptel.conf stuff. So, what happens when two E1s disappear? Do the avaiable channel numbers change at the zaptel.conf level? My best guess is they do, but I don't have E1s around to play with to prove it. So, that's my best guess and it certainly can be an incorrect guess on my part. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com <mailto:Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com> http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users The information contained in this email is intended for the personal and confidential use of the addressee only.
