[asterisk-users] Annoying PRI Channels Restarting Message

[Michael J. Liberatore]

Well I am glad its normal, I am on a p2p pri so I doubt the telco even
notices, but I can see on your end with a pri to the telco they would
see the messages maybe.  

I am considering just changing them from verbose to debug in the next
source code rebuild I do so they are there if I want them and hidden
from normal usage. Make sense? Any issues with that?

Thanks

Mike

It is Asterisk or more specifically Zaptel that causes the resets
defined by the "resetinterval" variable.  I have only noticed it on a
PRI (5ess and NI2 from what I have personally seen).  It has nothing to
do with the telco but I wonder what they see on their side?

To me it is comforting to see, I have also disabled resetinterval on a
box with four Qwest PRIs and had absolutely no problems in the last six
or seven months since doing it.  Bottom line, I don't really think it is
needed and should possibly be defaulted to "never".
