[Asterisk-Dev] E1, crc-4 errors

[Konrad Gorski]

Thank you Pauline.
Unfortunately your suggestion do not seem to solve my problem. 
I've made following 15 tests:
zaptel.conf: 
 	span=1,[012],[01457],ccs,hdb3,crc4
... a lot of errors (FAR-END FAILED SECONDS > 98%) regardless of
parameters
I will try to repeat tests on Monday. Do you have any suggestions how to
test and what to do if tests fail?
    Serdeczne pozdrowienia,
	Konrad Górski

You have to take the clock source from the Telco I think.
I.e.    span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3

Your E1 line is now freewheeling, so sync between the telco
and your E100P shifts in and out phase.

<wild guess here>
When crc4 is deactivated, the telco can't really measure
errors, or the physical connection must really be going
down. Its the crc4 checksum which gives you the possibility
to detect errors.
