Hi,

I have a problem with a VWIC using G.703 in an NM-2FE2W on a Cisco 3620
(IOS 12.2.1 IP featureset). The E1 serial line is down and a "show
controller E1" shows a "Receiver is getting AIS" error message (framing,
impedance and linecode are configured correctly):

Router#sh controllers e1
E1 1/0 is down.
  Applique type is Channelized E1 - unbalanced
  Receiver is getting AIS.
  alarm-trigger is not set
  Version info Firmware: 20010315, FPGA: 15
  Framing is NO-CRC4, Line Code is HDB3, Clock Source is Line.
   Current port master clock: local osc on this network module
  Data in current interval (171 seconds elapsed):
     0 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations
     0 Slip Secs, 171 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins
     0 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 171 Unavail
Secs
  Total Data (last 24 hours)
     1 Line Code Violations, 0 Path Code Violations,
     0 Slip Secs, 86400 Fr Loss Secs, 1 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins,
     0 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 86400
Unavail Secs

Documentation on CCO (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/74/107.html)
tells me:
        The Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) alarm is set when the last FAS
and NFAS frames have included less than 3 0's in timeslot 0 (the AIS is
an all 1's signal). The AIS is normally set by transmission equipment
detecting a fault.

But I still don't know what I have to do to troubleshoot the line. Can
anybody help me with this one?

Thanks in advance,

Erik Drost
