Hi Francesco, You were correct. I pulled the cable out before everyone got in this morning and it was a cross over. I've now connected a proper straight-through ISDN cable (don't know what the Nortel was using before) and L1 is now up on Asterisk:
BEGIN STACK_LIST: * Port 1 Type NT Prot. PTP L2Link DOWN L1Link:UP Blocked:0 Debug:1 However I'm now seeing the following message as L2 is not coming up: P[ 1] !!! Could not Get the L2 up after 3 Attemps!!! I checked that misdn.conf was setup to use PTMP (despite was it is saying above): <mISDNconf> <module poll="128" debug="1" timer="no">hfcmulti</module> <module debug="1" options="0">mISDN_dsp</module> <devnode user="root" group="root" mode="644">mISDN</devnode> <card type="BN4S0"> <port mode="nt" link="ptmp">1</port> <port mode="nt" link="ptmp">2</port> <port mode="nt" link="ptmp">3</port> <port mode="nt" link="ptmp">4</port> </card> </mISDNconf> Also, how can I definately tell it is running in PTMP mode? msisdnportinfo does not distinguish: Port 1: NT-mode BRI S/T interface port (for phones) -> Interface can be Poin-To-Point/Multipoint. -------- Port 2: NT-mode BRI S/T interface port (for phones) -> Interface can be Poin-To-Point/Multipoint. -------- And Asterisk says it is running in PTP as well when the module is loaded: *CLI> module load chan_misdn.so mISDN_close: fid(21) isize(131072) inbuf(0xb7b12008) irp(0xb7b12008) iend(0xb7b12008) == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/misdn.conf': Found P[ 0] Got: 1ptp,2ptp from get_ports == Registered channel type 'mISDN' (Channel driver for mISDN Support (Bri/Pri)) == Registered application 'misdn_set_opt' == Registered application 'misdn_facility' == Registered application 'misdn_check_l2l1' P[ 0] -- mISDN Channel Driver Registered -- Loaded chan_misdn.so => (Channel driver for mISDN Support (BRI/PRI)) I've got onto the Cisco router and found the BRI interface to be configured as below: interface BRI0 no ip address encapsulation ppp dialer pool-member 1 isdn switch-type basic-net3 no cdp enable ppp authentication chap callin end And the following events are being reported: Jan 16 10:03:06.099: ISDN BR0: Could not bring up interface Jan 16 10:03:06.103: BRI0: wait for isdn carrier timeout, call id=0x8004 The router also thinks that Layer 1 is still down: Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3 ISDN BRI0 interface dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-net3 Layer 1 Status: DEACTIVATED Layer 2 Status: Layer 2 NOT Activated Layer 3 Status: 0 Active Layer 3 Call(s) Active dsl 0 CCBs = 0 The Free Channel Mask: 0x80000003 Looks like it may be worth speaking with OpenVox regarding exactly how there can is setup, only problem is I'm not sure what I should be asking them.
