OK,

Here is what I did.

I setup a ds1 with standard T1 pri settings and set to the network.

I setup a trunk-group with all the ports on that ds1, set it to isdn-pri 
and tie and set the signaling to the step below

I setup a signaling-group with the primary d-channel as the 24rth port 
on the ds1 using associated signaling

I setup a data-module

I setup communication-interface link

I setup communication-interface processor to isdn h priority

I went back to communication-interface link and enabled it.

Everything worked perfectly. The d channel came up and 23 b channels 
through the definity and the new ivr server. Calls in and out sounded 
great and no PRI errors whatsoever.

I repeated the same steps above with the same settings but obviously 
different boards and identifiers.

Now the D channel goes up and down on both links and the b channels 
never come up

I remove everything I just added (new trunk-group, signaling group)

I tried to remove the data-module but it errors saying I have to remove 
it from the communication-interface link

I tried to remove the data-module from the communication-interface link 
but that errors saying I have to remove the communication-interface 
processor

I tried to blank out the second entry for the communication-interface 
processor and it errors saying “Identifier not Assigned”

I have busied out everything related to the board and data-module and 
also tried to change the second isdn value in communication-interface 
processor but once I get all the values filled in, I get the same error 
“Identifier not Assigned”

The original PRI still does not work. The D channel comes up and down 
and no B channels.

Thanks,
Steve
