I don't understand your question - so I'll tell you what to do:

Select one timing source from one T1 that is a Telco connected T1 and make it 1 - example: most reliable T1 Source.

If there is two Telco connected T1, select it as source 2

Now if timing source 1 goes down, timing source 2 will take over.

These are REAL Telco T1s and not connected to a PBX. Am I to assume that even if they are different providers the timing should be the same? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Thanks,

My understanding there should only be one timing source per TE410. You should use a "REAL" Telco T1 for a timing source. - Otherwise, do not choose any if for example all PBX T1's installed. The settings is only a priority level for asterisk to obtain the source. Example: 1 = use this source first choice, 2 = use this source if source 1 is down, and so on..

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Zaptel T1 Timing Source


Hi guys,

I have a question about the timing source parameter in zaptel.conf.

I have 4 T1s coming into a TE410P.

One T1 is with one carrier, who provides timing signal.

The other 3 T1s are from a different carrier, all sharing the same timing signal.

Based on this, I have in /etc/zaptel.conf something like:


span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=1-24

span=2,1,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=25-48

span=3,2,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=49-72

span=4,2,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=73-96

What I have done is set the timing source of the first T1 to be the primary source for itself.

For the other three T1s, I set the second T1 to be the primary source for the group of 3 and the other two as secondary sources.

Is this correct?

The reason I ask is because every so often I hear people complaint about call drops. It doesn't happen to everyone, so I don't know if it has anything to do with time source selection and synchronization issues that may be affecting individual channels. After a report of a call drop, I check dmesg and I don't really see any errors. Sometimes I just see ... disable echo cancel... messages on specific channels, but that shouldn't be a reason to drop a call.

Am I right? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Waldo
