Am I correct? Can't this be handled by the: "isdn tei negotiation powerup" config command? OR setting it for tei first-call? I thought I read that power-up negotiation is set by default on cisco boxes. Thanks. --- "Erick B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gareth, > > Did you get my original

Hi Erick, Sorry, didn't get your original response until just now. Too many different e-mail accounts. Good advice though. To be honest with this one I was being nosey, with a job one of our other engineers was working on, where the outcome, due to a similar previous was to advise customer to spe

Gareth, Did you get my original response regarding checking 'show isdn stat' when it "goes to sleep"? Paste the output from that when it is "sleeping". Also, check with the ISDN provider and have them look at their switch to see what they see when it is "sleeping". If you have a extra router

Hi all, Thanks for the responses, but are you not talking about layer 3? During calls I have no problems. A call with interesting traffic will stay up for hours. It is during periods of no calls that the layer 2 seems to go to sleep, so no matter whether the router sees it as interesting traffic

Hi, This is anotherone that comes up a lot with people that use a service from the outside but not always from within. If you don't have the dialer-list (x) protocol [ip ipx or whatever] permit [access-list if wanted] set your dialer won't dial. If this is set but your traffic is always gener
