If the T1 interface itself is up, the cable is correct.

The 904 has two T1 interfaces and only T1 0/2 can be used for PRI. When
connecting this to a PBX, a straight-through cable is most common.

Any of the "e" series TA900 flavors have four T1 interfaces. T1 0/3
and/or T1 0/4 can be used for PRI, and these will generally need a T1
crossover (1,2 swapped with 5,4) to go to a PBX.

If the T1 is up but the D-channel is down, it isn't the cable. Check
timing source, switch type, that the PBX uses channel 24 for D-channel,
user vs. network role configuration, etc.
