this is strange, indeed. I have not yet seen this.
My hardware configuration:
1) I removed the green jumpers TB01 - TB04
2) Jumper settings below the Twinax-board: 1-4 ON, 5-8 OFF
3) HFC-E1: NT Mode, Config A (all jumpers on the left side to the left)
4) 'hfcmulti' modprobed with 'dslot=1'
5) Forced the BS-11 to use correct TEI and E1 slot by using 'bs11_config'
did you verify the settings by using 'bs11_config query'? Is it really using
the full timeslot 1 with TEI 25? I have seen a number of BS-11 with different
default configuration.
Uhm, I remember doing the 'oml-tei' stuff as described on the
getting-started-tutorial page because these numbers didn't match.
I'll recheck this next week. Maybe the BTS forgot itself (I have to
switch off the power of the whole lab before I can leave the building).
did you also apply the kernel patch for mISDN and
actually use the
recompiled/patched mISDN_core and hfcmulti modules?
Yes: patched - recompiled - installed - restarted - modprobed.
Have I missed
something? I put a scope upon the rx/tx pins - traffic
flows into both directions, so I think there's no collision (tx->tx, rx->rx)
I think the TEI layer is not coming up in this case, so it is more a logical
than a physical layer problem.
I'll swap to the second BS-11 and E-1 Linecard just to be sure that
there isn't a hardware problem.
Maybe its important to mention:
- Both LEDs of the E-1 card are blinking red
- Used cables for the RJ45 plug (CAT5): orange/blue
