Re: [asterisk-users] mISDN BRI Asterisk 1.4
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=nohfcmulti/module module debug=1 options=0mISDN_dsp/module devnode user=root group=root mode=644mISDN/devnode card type=BN4S0 port mode=nt link=ptmp1/port port mode=nt link=ptmp2/port port mode=nt link=ptmp3/port port mode=nt link=ptmp4/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: 0x8003 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.

I've done this now and also enabled power on one of the ports as this is also mentioned in the manual. However, still neither port comes up on L1 when I connect the router. Once I've changed this jumper setting do I still need to manually change the mISDN.conf file to use NT? When I do mISDN scan/config it is still setting the ports to TE which I then manually edit back to NT. Also, I guess at this point it doesn't matter for L1, but should I be using Point-To-Point or Point-To-Multipoint?

I'm not sure if we have 2-4 PRI Channels dedicated to the BRI or if they are allocated dynamically but don't think it matter anyway.
