[asterisk-users] RE:T1 timing errors Nortel 61C with TE110P

[Savoy, Kevin - Williston, ND]

Ronnie I have 4 non-PRI's connected to a Nortel 11C and I had played
with PRI connections before and got them working. If you want to call me
we can go over your set up and compare with mine.

Yes that is correct.  The Nortel switch connects to the PSTN but not the
Asterisk.  It connects to the Nortel.  While the circuit is up I can
call extensions on the Nortel from the Asterisk and visa versa.

 

>>Or, are you routing 

>>incoming pstn calls from the central office through asterisk to the
Nortel?

 

No

 

>>Also, have you tried any of the "pri show ..." commands in asterisk,
or 

>>any of the pri debug items?

 

Yes.  When the circuit is up I can pri show span 1 and it show
partitioned up and active.
