[Asterisk-Users] Cannot get two TE410Ps to operate correctly in the same machine

["Dr. Fernando Macías Garza"]

It seems to me that if not all cards are clocked from the same source, 
then each one should be able to get its own external clock. However, 
card 0 has an external clock, but card 1 does not. Look at this:

#cd /proc/zaptel/
# grep ClockSource *
1:Span 1: TE4/0/1 "TE410P (PCI) Card 0 Span 1" HDB3/CCS ClockSource

Again, card 1 does not show up here and, of course, zttool reports it as 
clocked internally. The first spans in the cards are configured to be 
primary sync sources:

span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3
span=5,1,0,ccs,hdb3

I am sure the line connected to span 5 is a good clock source. This 
morning I exchanged this line with the one clocking span 1. Card 0 
reports a valid clock, while card 1 does not.

Bug in zaptel or ztcfg?
