Thanks Tzafrir.

# head -n 1 /proc/zaptel/*
==> /proc/zaptel/1 <==
Span 1: TE4/0/1 "T4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 1" (MASTER) HDB3/ RED

==> /proc/zaptel/2 <==
Span 2: TE4/0/2 "T4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 2"

==> /proc/zaptel/3 <==
Span 3: TE4/0/3 "T4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 3"

==> /proc/zaptel/4 <==
Span 4: TE4/0/4 "T4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 4"

So I am quite sure that port 1 is plugged in properly.

As I am dealing with telecom in China, I think I might have stepped onto
the MFC R/2 "bombshell" but I have no idea whether the signalling is
ISDN or R2.

I tried the suggestion on
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+MFC+R2 but the red alarm is
still on.

If it is really R2, then maybe I need to buy an E100P card instead of
TE412P.

Any thoughts?
