[Asterisk-Users] Nortel Meridian Option81C to TE405P

Thu Dec 8 08:11:23 MST 2005

If the digium card is good then he has the proper cable config,  
although his send may not be getting to the nortel. This is layer one  
which must work before layer two, ie d channel.

What does the nortel say regarding the T1?

If this is good then your issue is with configuration not cableing.
