  Okay, the only thing I can think of now is to find out how long your
  connection is to the smart jack? One of our last installs had a 100+
  foot length and it was really picky about the cable. We had one that was
  okay for ISDN but not for PRI over the same exact distance. 
 my connection to the smart jack is about 5 foot length - shouldn't be a
 problem.
 
  
  Remember that you need a standard straight through cable to the PSTN.  
 we are already using a straight through cable (also tryied a cross over
 cable)
 
 also if i had already tested the card with a loop cable - could it be
 possible that the card has a failure ?

You will have to change signalling to something like a channelized T1 to
use a loopback, I think. The PRI has complementary protocols for CPE and
NET sides of the link. Not sure if a loopback would come up if it is
configured for CPE.

If I understand what you're trying to do (loop one E1 span to another to see
if the card is defective), this should work fine (I've done it).

Just loop 1+2 to 4+5, set one span to CPE and the other to NET.  You should
get green on both.  Calls initiated on channels on one will appear as
inbound calls on the coresponding  channels on the other

This is a wonderful example of many eyes looking at a problem. I
completely didn't think about the spare ports. I had tunnel vision on
looping the port back on itself.

   On your zaptel, you should use the phone company as the source for

 Point out this broken documentation so it can be fixed. The
 /etc/zaptel.conf file says 1 for primary, 2 for secondary and so on. 0
 is for internal timing. Also you may have to power cycle the machine for
 that change to take place.
i've changed it to 1 - power cycle the machine - but didn't work either

hi all,

i am getting crazy with my TE410P - it won't work

now we already think that the only thing which can be wrong is the cable.
At our telecom endpoint we have 1-2 tx, 4-5 rx So - which cable do i need to
get it working

Already tried a cross over cable 1-2 - 4-5 / 4-5 - 1-2 (with this cable
nothing works - red alarm on both ends) Also a normal cable 1-2 - 1-2 /
4-5 - 4-5 (with this cable the telecom endpoint gets a signal - but it
seems to be the wrong coding/framing - but the TE410P is still on red alarm)

so, could it be that it will need a: 4-5 - 4-5, 1-2 - 7-8 ? (never heard
about something like this)

my zaptel.conf is:

span=1,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4
bchan=1-15,17-31
dchan=16

loadzone=at
defaultzone=at

as you can see i am located in austria - my telco is telekom Austria

thanks for any help

Wolfgang-

If all of those check out, it really does seem like a protocol error of some
kind.

See if you can ask them what link of switch they are using to serve you.  If
it's something unusual, perhaps google the digium site for references to
that switch.

Sorry that you're having so much trouble.
