You should clue in immediately to the very first probme - Layer 1 status deactivated. You've got a physical layer problem. Look for a cabling issue to be occurring between your routers and the ISDN switch.
Traditionally, an NT1 is used to connect an S/T interface to the ISDN cloud (the NT1 provides a U interface for the S/T interface of an ISDN capable device). However... Optsys indicates that if you have a U interface on your router, you require an NT1. This is contrary to the ISDN specs. This is the excerpt of the ISDN faq Marc Russell referenced: Q - My router has a U interface type. What do I need to connect to a Simline2? A - You need an external NT1 And that doesn't make any sense to me. If you've got a U interface, you don't need an NT1 - however again, this is contrary to the Optsys Slimline faq: Q - My router has a U interface type. What do I need to connect to a Simline2? A - You need an external NT1 And that's completely backwards to the ISDN reference points I learned... TE2 - TA | | TE1 - NT1 ISDN cloud NT1 - TA - TE | | | | | | R S/T U U S/T R I can't recall this exactly offhand, but I recall seeing something saying don't plug an S/T interface directly into a U interface because damage can result. I think it's in Cisco's documentation for the router--check there for confirmation. If you hooked up things incorrectly, you may have damaged your equipment. Note that you want to use a straight-through cable between the NT1 and ISDN simulator. Hope this helps... -- Leigh Anne -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Zakir A Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 10:44 PM To: Greg Sporton; 'paul jin'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TROUBLES-- ISDN simulator from marc russell I changed my configurations to what Paul suggested, with the following results: (I have also included show int bri 0 from both routers if somebody can find something in there) R1#sh isdn stat 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) Activated dsl 0 CCBs = 0 The Free Channel Mask: 0x80000003 Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0 R1# R1#ping 192.168.1.2 Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds: 1d01h: BR0 DDR: Dialing cause ip (s=192.168.1.1, d=192.168.1.2) 1d01h: BR0 DDR: Attempting to dial 1111 1d01h: ISDN BR0: Outgoing call id = 0x8020 1d01h: ISDN BR0: Event: Call to 1111 at 64 Kb/s 1d01h: ISDN BR0: Activating .... 1d01h: ISDN BR0: Could not bring up interface 1d01h: BRI0: wait for isdn carrier timeout, call id=0x8020 1d01h: ISDN BR0: Shutting down ISDN Layer 3 1d01h: ISDN BR0: Activating .
