[Asterisk-Users] Nortel Meridian Option81C to TE405P

Fri Dec 9 10:17:14 MST 2005

Yes, I have other PRIs.  problem is that there are 100 different fields to
fill in on the M1, but only 20 on the zap/asterisk side!  

I was able to get this going.  A few points:

1.  I am using the Sangoma Card - works great.
2.  I have the M1 set for USR and the Asterisk set for NET
3.  The D-Channel messages on the Asterisk side are generated by the
Asterisk application (in hindsight - duh!).  The d-channel won't come up
unless the application is running.

I had the clocking on the M1 set for "External" on the ADAN / D-Channel.
The clocking on the Sangoma has two choices: "Master" and "Normal".  I
picked "Master" because I figured the M1 would be the "Slave" from a
clocking standpoint.  This generated a ton of errors and took me a long time
to figure out.   (Why the hell can't Nortel give you an inline description
of an error message?   After all of these years, you still get DTA0021 as an
error message!)  I changed the clock on the Sangoma to Normal and the span
came right up.

I may have also had a physical layer problem - maybe a bad DB15 to RJ48
converter.

Now I'm in dial plan and MeetMe hell - but I'll get by that too!

yup, is this the only PRI you have coming into your nortel?  we already had
2 other PRI's coming in so pretty much just copied the config settings from
one of the other PRIs.  What does it show if you stat the d-channel.  (I
think it is in load 96: stat dch <d channel number>).  Everything else setup
on the nortel?  Have a clock source setup and everything?

Joe, are you running PRI to your Opt 11?  I have a 61 and I can;t get my
d-channel to come up to save my life!

You can't use a ethernet crossover cable, make sure you are using a T1
crossover cable.  (you will definately need to use a T1 crossover cable). 

I'm running a Nortel Option 11 and Asterisk connected in this manner.

He said that he is using a crossover but for some reason I think the
crossover may be the problem.  Try making a new one.  Cross pin one with 
four and two with five.  Also try a straight through cable.  Your 
configs look fine on the asterisk side although I am not real cluefull
on the Meridian.

One question, was the Meridian ever hooked up to the PSTN? 

Thanks,
Steve
