No - just because the span goes doesn't mean its gone.  Its simply there 
and down.

Here's my theory as to the problem:  In the config, Spans 1 and 3 are to 
the telco, 2 and 4 to the old pbx.  Clocking is being taken from spans 1 
and 3.

Now the symptom when the meridian was disconnected was like zaptel had no 
clock.  

So theory one is that the spans are actually plugged into the board 
"upside down", with telco on 4 and 2, meridian on 3 and 1.  so when the 
meridian was disconnected there was no more clock.

Second theory is that the zaptel.conf was changed - maybe moving which 
spans clock comes from - and the zaptel modules weren't reloaded or ztcfg 
wasn't run.

Port 1 on the TE410P is at the "top" (away from the mobo), btw.
