Hi Priscilla, I have actually had this scenario (multiple times), but due to the Telco's misconfiguration. Specifically we were expecting b8zs/esf. Unfortunately I can't confirm which was configured incorrectly, but I can confirm that going through all of the different combinations available at the router you will get all combinations on the serial interface (up/up, down/up and down/down).
I can also confirm, you will not establish connectivity, regardless. I believe either b8zs/esf or sf/ami are the only valid combinations. At least that is all I've ever worked with. Hope this helps, -TV ""Priscilla Oppenheimer"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hi Group Study, > > While writing some questions for a practice test, I found myself > questioning what I thought was the right answer.
