OK now this is a typical TELCO-Client everything's working on our side scenario.
 Im installing a TC-1000 Hiper System to a client 90-port digital using E1/R2
signalling. Software codes installed is that of TCS 4.3. When you plugged-in the
span line to the HiperDSP all LED utilization maxxed-out (100%) and when i go to
console and check the status here's what im getting:

Tslot  Status   Modem   Blocking     Call ID      Span  
               Connect   Status                   Status

 00     Fchan    N/A    UNBLOCKED   0x00000000    Ok 
 01   Dial In    001    UNBLOCKED   0x0001000E    Ok
 02   Dial In    002    UNBLOCKED   0x0001010E    Ok
 03   Dial In    003    UNBLOCKED   0x0001020E    Ok
 .

 16     Dchan    N/A    UNBLOCKED   0x00000000    Ok
 .
 .
 31   Dial In    030    UNBLOCKED   0x00011D0E    Ok

Telco is saying that on their switching side all ports/channel are IDLE.  I did
a trace debug on the span to see any activity using "trc dbg 30 1" and did a
reboot on their NOKIA line driver and here's what i got:

ASM ch 01 : PRO_A_INC -> A_LINE_SR : 0362 Block_Out
(Ch.255): 06:27:20:138
ASM ch 01 : PRO_A_INC -> A_LINE_SR : 0363 Relse_Out
(Ch.255): 06:27:20:138
ASM ch 01 : A_LINE_RS -> PRO_A_INC : 0300 Seize_In
(Ch.255): 06:27:20:138
ASM ch 01 : PRO_A_INC -> A_LINE_SR : 0364 Szack_Out
(Ch.255): 06:27:35:138
ASM ch 01 : A_REG_CM  -> A_REG_SR  : 03E4 A_4_pulsed
(Ch.255): 06:27:43:138
ASM ch 01 : PRO_A_INC -> A_LINE_SR : 0363 Relse_Out
(Ch.255): 06:27:45:138
ASM ch 01 : PRO_A_INC -> A_LINE_SR : 0366 Clrbck_Out
(Ch.255): 06:27:53:138
ASM ch 01 : PRO_A_INC -> A_LINE_SR : 0363 Relse_Out
(Ch.255): 06:27:55:138
ASM ch 01 : PRO_A_INC -> A_LINE_SR : 0366 Clrbck_Out

Telco is claiming that their switch is waiting for the A-1 register which the
HiperDSP is not sending. But isn't it suppose to be in IDLE state first not
Dial-In as indicated by the status? Here's my Question on the list:
1. Can anyone describe briefly the trace debug parameters? If i recall it right,
it used to have an arrow pointing to the left or right determining if the signal
is/was originating from the TELCO side or from the TC side.
2. A-1 register is send next digit, does the HiperDSP really detects or responds
to this request (obviously it will but apparently am not seeing it),perhaps
because of the current state of my HiperDSP that's why am not seeing the A-1
register.
3. Finally, any thoughts/suggestion on another way of trouble locating and
clearing this issue?

Oh, one more thing i did a loopback from the TC to the NOKIA line driver of the
span it detects it, but if i do a loopback all the way to their switch TELCO
says its not detecting it. Hmmm, when i did a loopback on their NOKIA line
driver they still say they're not detecting it. Man, this is supposed to be a
normal regular installation....can't collect to the client because of this
issue...so guys....WHO'S AT FAULT????
