Fractional Rate Line Dropping Intermittently

robtos
Level 1
Level 1

Hi There,

we have recently moved buildings and before our move we were running video conferencing across two pri links. We had multilink configured and were allowing a max of 10 links to come up. Everything worked well and the quality was good.

Since we moved, the remote site is the same but our new site has a fractional rate line instead of a pri. We have configured things the same as before and it works fine except the connections drops after 10 minutes. I have posted my config below, but I cannot determime see anything which is forcing the link to drop.

we have not changed the configs on the Polycom Video Conferencing units either, so I don't think it should be anything there. Has anyone come across this problem before ?

Thanks

Rob.

Can you send output of "show controllers E1" ? Have you adjusted for the actual number of channels in pri-group ?

Hi there,

I enclose Show Controllers E1 for both routers below. I was doing more testing yesterday and although the video conference session fails. The line is not dropping. I looked at the output of the show ppp multilink and there was still 3 lines up. Despite the fact the video conference session had ended. I looked through the config options on the video conference boxes, but I could not see anything that would cause the session to drop after 11 minutes. It makes no difference which site we initiate the video con session from, it still fails after 11 minutes. I removed the dialer load threshold command as I could see ther load was dropping during the call and though the line was falling because of this, but as I say I don't believe the line is dropping.

Thanks

Hi, controller is clean. You should look with "debug isdn q931" and "debug ppp negotiation" if any call fails.
