<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been having some problems getting a
channelized T1 working with a T100P card. Perhaps someone can help:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an Eschelon T1 coming into a Vina Integrator
box. This box splits out the T1 into an ethernet plug for bandwidth and a
secondary T1 which I plug into the T100P card. I've connected the two with
a T1 crossover cable. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I get a green light on the t100p card and can make
outbound calls. Inbound calls are not working as well. Via the
console, I can see them come in and start the "s" extension, but then they hang
up. Then the second channel accepts a call, then I get a "all
circuits busy" message on the phone (from my cell as I call in to test).
I'm testing from my cell phone and never hear a ring or any of the asterisk
welcome message (even though it's showing in the console). It's as if the call
appears to be answered by the card, but actually never is.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Changing the "immediate=yes" to "no" changes
behavior somewhat. Then I get a message in the console that there is no
extension "6" defined, but if I define it, the problem doesn't go
away.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using a channelized T1, not PRI. So we
don't have b and d channels. Just e&m signalling. Thanks for
your help.</FONT></DIV>
