I could be wrong but.....
Wouldn't the channel numbering follow
more along these lines? That's assuming
you said that you've got the first span up
which would mean the TE405P is card 1, otherwise
it could be card 2.

card 1 = TE405P
===============
span 1 = channels 1-24
span 2 = channels 25-48
span 3 = channels 49-72
span 4 = channels 73-96

card 2 = TDM40B
===============
1st port = channel 97
2nd port = channel 98
3rd port = channel 99
4th port = channel 100

Also, what do you mean by "I inherited them" ?
Where did they come from? Are you moving them
from another piece of equipment?
If so, are you sure the second span even has
a "D" channel? Maybe it was part of an NFAS group?
