[c-nsp] Channelized E1/PRI Problem (Peter Nyamukusa)

[Glenn Goldie]

Hi Peter,

A Loss of Signal alarm generally means physical cabling problem. Either your 
2/0 port had nothing connected up when you issued the 'show controller e1' 
command, or else you may be using an incorrect cable. E1 pinouts are 
different from standard CAT5 cabling so be aware of that.

Good luck,


Rgds,
Glenn.
