T1 Serial Interface on 7206

scottcummins
Level 1
Level 1

Good day Cisco Guru's

I curently have a 2 port Multi-channel T1\PRI card in a 7206, I am using port zero with a T1 Card and I configured very minmally and it operates fine, Port 1 is connected to the sdame type of Card and I cannot get my port to come up. If I swap the cables around Port 1 Does come up.It is a very confounding thing.

I am a novice with WAN routing so I am probably missing something easy, So I posted my "Sh Int"  and "sh run" two Ser ports I am talking about. any help would be greatly appreciated

If you swap cable from a port to another, and interface remains down, that indicates hardware fault, and there is nothing you can do about it beside having it replaced.

Thanks for the reply

That is trhe confounding thing to me, If I move the cable I have in Port Zero which is Up and Up to Port 1, the interface DOES come up.and If I move Port 1 (currently not functioning) to the operational port 0, it DOES NOT come up. SO I am fairly confident the harware is working

It is a bit difficult to follow you.

How many "cables" there are?

What is on the other end of the "cables"?

Let me ask this question instead. I have one circuit that connected to another 7206 with a PRI\T1 Card at the far end, This circuit is up and good. The circuit  that is not coming up is connected at the other End to a CISCO 3845 using an HWIC-1DSU-T1 Module. Could it bh a compatibilty issue?, But even if so wouldn't the interface at least show up if it was being properly timed and synced with the DSU/CSU card in the cabinet?

Take "show controllers T1" at both ends of the circuit.

Has the circuit ever worked before, or it is a new one ?

No, It is a new one, So I am trying to use the current 3845 vI have in this location in conjuction with a 7206 here

The 3845 does not have a "T1 Controller" per say, I know that this module shows up as serial 0/0/0 with my IOS of 12.4(T) It is sup[posed to act as a T1 controller

I Already have a T3 in use in it

My 7206 at my end shows this

  No alarms detected.

T1 2/1 is down.
  Applique type is Channelized T1
  Cablelength is long gain36 0db
  Transmitter is sending remote alarm.
  Receiver has loss of signal.
  alarm-trigger is not set
  Framing is ESF, Line Code is B8ZS, Clock Source is Line.

For that type of T1 interface, use "show service-module serial". However, it is clear already from show interface that there is loss of signal, same thing on 7206 side.

Most likely the circuit has not been completed/activated, despite whatever claim telco is making.

I believe you are absolutely correct, even though I have fought with them, they keep telling me it is "premise equipment" and close my ticket. So I just want to be absolutely sure I am not missing anything before I go back and get a little more undiplomatic with them.

Module type is T1/fractional
    Hardware revision is 1.0, Software revision is 001,
    Image checksum is 0x0, Protocol revision is 0.1
Transmitter is sending remote alarm.
Receiver has loss of frame, AIS alarm,
Framing is ESF, Line Code is B8ZS, Current clock source is line,
Fraction has 24 timeslots (64 Kbits/sec each), Net bandwidth is 1536 Kbits/sec.
Last user loopback performed:
    line loopback
    duration 00:00:38
Last module self-test (done 2w0d): Passed
Last clearing of alarm counters 2w0d
    loss of signal        :    0,
    loss of frame         :    9, current duration 1d00h
    AIS alarm             :    7, current duration 1d00h
    Remote alarm          :    0,
    Module access errors  :    0,
Total Data (last 0 15 minute intervals):
    86400 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations
    0 Slip Secs, 0 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 86400 Degraded Mins
    27 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 0 Unavail Secs
Data in current interval (0 seconds elapsed):
    0 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations
    0 Slip Secs, 295 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins
    0 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 295 Unavail Secs

This side has signal, but loss of framing. Another indication of a messed up circuit, as by now ESF is the only framing used on new circuits.

There are various loopbacks that could be done to rpove your case, some by you some by telco, but I don't think is even necessary to do that.

The key on a new circuits is: has acceptance been signed ? If not, they cannot even bill you for.
