Problem with VIC-2E/M

Hi,

I have a problem with Voice ports (VIC-2E/M) on our router (2811).

When we send RTP packages the voice-port turns the E-lead on and off every ~100 ms (The LED on the VIC2-module flashes red).

This failure occurs with the same pattern every time:

RTP stream 1: Everything works.

RTP stream 2: LED flashes red. Audio is "sliced".

RTP stream 3: LED flashes red. Audio is "sliced".

RTP stream 4: Everything works.

RTP stream 5: LED flashes red. Audio is "sliced".

RTP stream 6: LED flashes red. Audio is "sliced".

RTP stream 7: Everything works.

Etc...

Restarting the E/M port "resets" the pattern:

RTP stream 1: Everything works.

RTP stream 2: LED flashes red. Audio is "sliced".

Cisco-config: Voice interface shutdown/no shutdown.

RTP stream 3: Everything works. (We would expect Flashing LED if we did not shutdown).

Other information:

- We have two VIC-2E/M card in the same router. This error is on boths cards.

- Adjusting the "timing hangover" only changes the frequncy of the flashing LED - it does not remove it.

- We have a working voice-port configuration. Aplying ths does NOT help.

- The RTP stream to the router is valid.

- The router has a newer IOS 12.4(12.12)T.

The voice-port configuration is listed below:

I hope you are able to help.

Ok, solved the problem.

I was looking at the wrong version number (Not the IOS). The version we were running was 12.4(11)XW.

It seems that there is a bug in this version (All XW versions). The E-lead has spikes that slices the sound (Frequncy can be adjusted by changing "timing hangover").

We switched to the 12.4(15)T3 - and everything problem is solved.
