[asterisk-users] RE: Nortel 81C MSDL Trunking to Asterisk TE110P, Nortel Resetting PRI Channels

[Marlon_Blair at doh.state.fl.us]

I have made the change as stated 
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
span=2,2,0,esf,b8zs

>Where is your primary clock? 
For the PRI, coming from the Asterisk PBX

>Do you have an atomic clock supplying timing to your Nortel system?  
No, timing picked up over the PRI from the provider  

>Does your Nortel get it's clock from the phone company?
 Yes

>Assuming one of these two is the case, and that both T1s are connected
to the Nortel system, Asterisk should derive it's >clock from the Nortel
system.  
Timing cannot come from the type of card we are using on the Nortel side

Assuming that 'clock slips' are the same thing as 'frame slips'....

Where is your primary clock? Do you have an atomic clock supplying
timing to your Nortel system? Does your Nortel get it's clock from the
phone company? Assuming one of these two is the case, and that both T1s
are connected to the Nortel system, Asterisk should derive it's clock
from the Nortel system. 
To do that you would want to set up Zaptel.conf 
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
span=2,2,0,esf,b8zs

Asterisk would then use T1 number 1 to set it's internal t1 card clock.
If T1 1 was not available, then it would use T1 2. 

This line from your Nortel system makes me think it is using an external
clock. If this is the case then you must have an atomic clock or some
other 'external' clock source at your location.
