Description

I was using the internal XO of a Digium DAHDI E1 card while tryign to bring up my RBS2308, and failed for multiple days to do so.

Intrestingly, the TF ca nbe fully broguht up (enabled / operational), but the failure shows in a very weird way:
  • The TX ENABLE RESULT shows MO State: DISABLED and points to the Attribute Idnetifier: ARFCN TX

This is completely misleading, as the ARFCN number is fully acceptable - it's just that the TRX refuses to come up while timing is not precise.

The only other thing that shows up in a trace is a TF Fault Report with External Condition Map Class 1: 0300.

We should print very descriptive error messags on either of those two events to make sure other people realize that all they have is a bad E1 clock.

(the way how I fixed it is to use a SIU slaved to GPS 1PPS which feeds the clock into one of the 4ports of a Digium Quad-E1, which then uses that port as clock source)
