[Asterisk-Users] channel bank configuration

[firedude at shorelinuxsolutions.com]

Ok, my channel bank is configured.  The signaling is configured for 
fxsloopstart. The framing is esf.  The line is b8zs.

When I plug in a crossover cable from the T100P to the channel bank my T1 
line status indicator shows a red light.  However if I plug a crossover 
cable straight from the Dmark (PRI) to the channel bank my T1 line status 
indicator shows green.  So I'm thinking my problem is with either my T100P 
cards/asterisk or the crossover cable but I don't think it's the crossover 
cable. Any suggestions on what I should do next or how I can trouble shoot 
it?
