I have tried all kinds of DSP cards .49 .51 and .53 At this point, I am suspecting ospf being the cause of this since Marshall Morgan says he does not see this behaviour on a non ospf hiperarc setup. If anyone is running ospf without any problems, let me know so I don't start converting to RIP for nothing.
I find it hard to believe that much of anything on the Arc could be causing channels to be going to LocalOutOfService. Do you have any autoresponse stuff set up on the NMC? That's the only thing I can think of there.
One other observation: - Once a channel is stuck in LocalOutOfService, any further call beyond that channel on the PRI gives a fast busy signal
Sounds like you're running NI-2 translation on it. NI-2 doesn't have service message, so the switch doesn't know the channel is LocalOutOfService, so it keeps sending calls down that channel. The DSP does the only thing it knows to do and rejects the call resulting in the fast busy. Switch to a custom-5ESS or custom-DMS100 (or whatever switch type your telco has) and you should be able to get service messages and get the behaviour you're expecting here (LocalOutOfService channels get skipped) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
