[Asterisk-Users] E1 Red Alarm

[Ejay Hire]

Hi.  Just for grins, reverse the BNC's.  You could have the
tx and rx crossed, happens all the time on ds-3's.  Also,
with the BNC's unplugged and hanging, You should have a
Yellow light on the Hdsl Box (I've always called that a
smartjack, but we call football soccer, so what do we know?
:) ).  If you don't get a yellow light with the BNC's
hanging then the smartjack probably has an internal loopback
set and you need to give your telco a call to clear it.

Good Luck,
