T1 PRI "path code violation"

Hi,

Hope I can get some helps here.

Environment: CUCM 7.15, C2921 15.0(1)M4 with T1 PRI

T1 PRI "Path Code Violation" errors have been observered during business hours. The customer brought in the telco (Bell Canada) to do the on-site  stress test, but didn't see any errors.

"The Telco created loopback 50kms away at main CO, this tested the line from 2921, which is via copper to remote CO ( 3kms), then to main CO via their fiber."

A TAC case has been opened for a while, still no clues.

Below is the errors:

verify line coding with TELCO is correct

"A Path code violation error event is a frame  synchronization bit error in the D4 (SF) format, or a CRC error in the  ESF format. Path code violations and line code violations are typically  present simultaneously. Always verify that your line coding is correct."

Thank you for your input, Andrian.

All configurations were verified with telco. It's odd as we see PCV only, no LCV.

Don't know if you went through this T1 PRI Troubleshooting Flowchart. Worth a try

Hi,

If the line coding and framing have already been verified, it could mean that you are having a layer 1 issue.

Can you please check the cabling and the card?

I had this same problem last week.

Here is an example of the issue I was having.  After I contacted the Telco company and they ran some intrusive testing the T1 became clean again.
