Albert,
This is an excerpt from the CCO on ISDN troubleshooting issues.  It is 
apparently n issue with your provider's ISDN switch.
HTH,
Rob H.      CCNP, CCDP, CCIE Written, MCSE, CCA

Because the router includes the Channel ID Information Element (DE) in the 
ALERTING and the CONNECT messages, the Siemens NI1 switch sends the STATUS 
message in accordance with section 6.3.5.2 of the Bellcore SR-NWT-001953
ISDN
Terminal Equipment on Basic Access Interfaces. It is recommended but not 
required that the terminal equipment (such as the Cisco router) not include 
the Channel ID IE after the CALL_PROC. If the router does include this IE, 
the switch is supposed to ignore it and send a STATUS message. 

  Previously, if you received an unsolicated STATUS message from the switch, 
you would perform a call state comparison and if the call states were not
the
same you would release the call. When the call is still in the progressing 
call states, the progressing call states will not be equal. How to handle
the
STATUS message under certain cause conditions such as invalid IE or
mandatory
IE missing is an implementation option. 

  Workaround: If the switch sends a complaining STATUS message about 
including optional IEs, allow them to be included and to determine if they 
wish to terminate the call. This option is implemented only for call 
progressing states four through nine.



Hello group,

I'm having a little trouble with my ISDN config.

Now, this is what I'm getting after a single ping. It looks like it's
telling me "Mandatory IE missing".

Could someone please take a look.

Thanks

Albert
