[asterisk-users] ISDN-BRI issue

[Frédéric Blaise]

Hello all

Asterisk 1.2.10
BRIstuff PRE-1s
Debian sarge

I have an issue with my ISDN-BRI line. Asterisk tells me my D-Channel is
down, no matter is I have an actual line plugged in or not.

  == Primary D-Channel on span 1 down

 I somehow got it to work once! The config tools do not indicate any
errors whatsoever. Here is a rundown of various listings I can think
about. (some things may show some FXO stuff, but I took the card out to
make sure that it wasn't interfering).

I am at a loss. It seems that I get the same result whether the ISDN
signal is on or off. However, the LED on my card is red when no signal,
and well green when there's a signal.

Please help! Any hints, advices... anything is welcome. Thank you.
