[asterisk-users] Problems with E400P Cards

[Bernhard Wessels]

Hi All,

i´ve dealed around with two E400P Cards the last 3 Days and I cant 
figure out why this problem exists.

Here the description:

I have two E400P Quad E1 Cards. One is in NT Mode and the other is in 
TE(CPE) Mode.
When I connect both cards via E1-Cross Cabel the cards wont sync. I see 
in zttool Red Alarm and SyncSource:Internally Clocked.
I see Bipolar Voilations Counting up.
Now comes the tricky part.
I have a third Card. A Rhino R4T1 in E1 Mode(TE). When i plugg my 
crosscable from E400P to Rhina. Pling Sync is perfect.
zttool says : no alarms, SyncSource : Tormenta PCI...... Everything is fine.

What the hell (sorry) is the problem?!? Dont know why both E400P Cards 
wont sync. But they sync if i plug it into a rhino port.?!?!
Anybody has some idea?!?!

Here is my zaptel.conf of the E400P in NT Mode:
