I'm trying to connect Asterisk 1.4.20 to Avaya Definity G3R v11.1 via a T1
crossover, and I'm currently stuck. Anyone have any thoughts on what I
can do to get past this?
Asterisk side
Digium TE220B w/ green LED (using port 2)

Zaptel.conf
span=2,1,0,esf,b8zs
bchan=25-47
dchan=48
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

Zapata.conf
context=default
switchtype=national

; T1 PRI to Avaya Definity G3R
context=from_pbx
signalling=pri-cpe
group=3
channel => 25


Avaya side
TN464GP

Ds1 01C14
Framing mode: esf
Line coding: b8zs
Signaling mode: isdn-pri
Connect: Network
Protocol version: b (national)
Near-end CSU type: other (for the T1 crossover)

Signaling group 6
Primary d-channel set to 01C14


When I restart Asterisk, the following lines get logged to
/var/log/asterisk/messages:

[Jun 19 12:41:37] ERROR[28093] chan_zap.c: Unknown signalling method
'pri-cpe'
[Jun 19 12:41:37] ERROR[28093] chan_zap.c: Signalling must be specified
before any channels are.

If I change signaling method to pri-net:
[Jun 19 12:49:42] ERROR[28184] chan_zap.c: Unknown signalling method
'pri-net'
[Jun 19 12:49:42] ERROR[28184] chan_zap.c: Signalling must be specified

Try underscore _ rather than dash -

Thanks,

try pri_cpe instead of pri-cpe

pri_net usually when connecting to a legacy system.

Thanks,

Agreed. It looks like you've tried to tell the Avaya to be the network
side but it doesn't seem to be acting like the network. Do what Steve
suggested and see if you get a different result...

This will happen if the other side is configured the same as the
Asterisk side. i.e. PRI CPU mode on both ends or PRI NET mode on both
ends. This can also happen if the line is in loopback mode at the far end.

The d-channel on the Avaya would be 01C1424. The rest of 01C14 would be the b-channels.

Primary d-channel set to 01C14. Why doesn't it say 01C1424 then?

Steve,

I didn't do a very good copy and paste, that is why Primary d-channel set
to 01C14 in the message, although it was actually set to 01C1424.

I went back to square one, and stepped through the setup quite
methodically. I now have a working PRI between my Avaya Definity G3R v11
and my Asterisk 1.4.20 system.

The working configuration:
Asterisk [Digium TE220B]
Zaptel.conf
# G3R TN464GP 01C14
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs # get clock from interface, primary
bchan=1-23
dchan=24
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

Zapata.conf
; Span 1 G3R TN464GP 01C14
switchtype=national
signalling=pri_net ;G3R Connect: pbx, Interface: user
context=from_pbx
group=1
channel => 1-23
Avaya [TN464GP]
ds1 01C14
Framing mode: esf
Line coding: b8zs
Signaling mode: isdn-pri
Connect: pbx
Interface: user
Protocol version: a
Near-end CSU type: other (for the T1 crossover)

signaling group 6
Primary d-channel set to 01C1424
