PPP T1 connection

Hello all, I've a question about a T1 set up that I'm working on.  I'm attempting to use a 2901 router with a purchased T1 HWIC and that will go as a Point to Point (Lease line) connection back to the local network where it will connect to an adtran CSU device.

Currently there are 2 older Nortell routers with an attached CSU via a serial cable.  On the "home side" the clocking is set to "network" and on the "remote" side the clocking is currently set to internal. 

My problem is I can't seem to get the 2901 to connect.  Currently in the lab environment there is home made cross over cable that connects fully functioninig set up from on nortell to the other.  As such I'm using the same cable and putting into the HWIC on the cisco device:  This is my set up:

The home made may not have everything pinned like a cisco cable.Is it a 4 wire crossover between the csu's ?

Timing on both sides should be set to line or network.

What is the far end router ?

There are so many errors, pointing to faulty circuit. Have telco fix, even if they claim all is fine, have them prove it's working in front of you on presemis.

Hello, thank you for responses.

Vmiller:  The cable is a full 8 pin cross over cable made by "good union labor"   and currently works in the set up.  I'm on an end work station that is connected to the main network via the T1 connection

Both ends of the connection have same set up:

Nortel Router <-->serial <-->adtran CSU <--- > adtran CSu <----> Nortell router

[remote]  timing currently "internal                         [home] timing currently "network"

I tried to change both to be internal - as I didn't see a network option on the cisco device only a line option.

The circuit is currently in a lab environment but has worked in the past.  Ofcourse the old, if it ain't broke why fix it comes to mind.  But we'd like to start using a Cisco device in order to do other things on it which the Nortell is incapable of.

Again, thank you very much for your replies.

I have news for the union labourer, T1 cross only requires 2 pairs, or 4 pins:

Ok, so this is an inhouse test circuit is it just a cable, or is the carrier involved?

If you connect a nortel where the cisco is, do things work ?

If thats true, then there is something else amiss.

How are the adtrans set up for clock ?

Thanks guys you got me thinking on the right track.

I figured out the problems and in case anyone has to deal with old ARN here is a quick summary:

The MTU on nortell device is by default 1600 as opposed to cisco's 1500, the encapsulation is set to "default HDLC" which is nortell HDLC and not the same cisco's HDLC, regardless it needs to be the same on both ends, in this case we'll make it PPP.  I'm still seeing a small number of errors but the connection is up now.  Timing as vmiller pointed out to me needs to be the same on both sides.

I appreciate the help so far.
