I'm having a hard time configuring an IDSN E1 PRI in our 2811 router.
I followed all the cisco configuration guides, tips, forums, etc, and nothing.
I think is something related with the isdn switch-type, framing, or something with the controller configuration. Remember this setup is for Spain.
This is what I've got so far:
card type E1 0 3
isdn switch-type primary-net5
network-clock-participate wic 3
network-clock-select 1 E1 0/3/0
voice-card 0
dspfarm
no local-bypass
controller e1 0/3/0
framing no-crc4
pri-group timeslots 1-8
linecode hdb3
interface Serial0/3/0:15
no ip address
encapsulation hdlc
isdn switch-type primary-net5
isdn incoming-voice voice
no cdp enable
voice-port 0/3/0:15
dial-peer voice 1 pots
description PRIMARIO
destination-pattern .T
incoming called-number 902333302
direct-inward-dial
port 0/3/0:15
Any help is appreciated! I'm really stuck on this.

Can you post the results of "show isdn status"? It appears this is a fractional PRI and that you're using 8 channels. Does this configuration match the carriers config?

Fairly generic problem description.
Generic troubleshooting steps:
'sh controller t1' - is it up? If not, physical problem.
'show isdn status' - is it multiple frame established? If not, 'debug isdn q921' and possibly check switch type. There can be some local variant (especially with BRI) for getting layer 2 up.
'debug isdn q931' for a failed call if your layer 2 is up. This will show if your dial plan or dial peers are configured correctly.

I read a bit in internet, it appears to be a problem that my configuration is not matching the telco parameters? am I right?
Thanks again for the help!

Your T1 is down. Make sure 3 things are right:
clock source matches provider
line code matches provider
framing matches provider
If this is back-to-back between routers you need a T1/E1 crossover cable.
If this is to a smartjack, it should be a straight through cable.

Good afternoon, thanks for all the replies! I still need help.
We talk to our provider and we have the "correct" paremeters, but we still can't work this out.
Router#show isdn stat
Global ISDN Switchtype = primary-net5
ISDN Serial0/3/0:15 interface
dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = primary-net5
Layer 1 Status:
DEACTIVATED
Layer 2 Status:
TEI = 0, Ces = 1, SAPI = 0, State = TEI_ASSIGNED
Layer 3 Status:
0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
Active dsl 0 CCBs = 0
The Free Channel Mask: 0x00000000
Number of L2 Discards = 0, L2 Session ID = 1
Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0
We tried everything, and I'm sure we're stuck on some detail we can't see. Our provider is not helping much, either.
Any more ideas? Thanks.

This is wiring or layer 1.
Layer 1 Status:
DEACTIVATED
No amount of ISDN configuration is going to help you now.

yes, sadly, I know.
The problem is, with our "old" pbx, it works. I'm only unplugging the jack on the "old" one, and plug in in the Cisco WIC. So (maybe) is not a cabling/jack/crossover cable issue.

The main thing to be aware of is that back-to-back requires a T1 cross over, but if you're connecting to a smartjack or an ISDN switch, it may be a straight through.
(This could be vice versa for your situation). Pins 1+4 and 2+5 are switched in the crossover scenario.
