[asterisk-r2] Protocol error. Reason = Multi Frequency Cycle Timeout

Hello Jesus,

Just for you to know, is not an ethernet card, despite the connector
being an RJ45.

I think I know what the problem is. I have seen this at least 2 times
before. Nortel does not seem to like when is asked to transmit the
category and just ignores the request causing this problem. Is not a
problem when Nortel is connected to Telmex or other telcos because
telcos do not ask for category nor ANI because telcos know who you
are, they don't need to ask. There is probably a configuration in
nortel PBX's to send the category properly.

However, I am planning to add a new option to openr2 where you will be
allowed to skip the category request and go straight to group II
signals. I should have the new openr2 release ready this Monday or
Tuesday. I will post the news here. This new release should solve your
problem.
