Dual Framer 
(T1/E1) 
Module
After installing a Dual 
Framer (T1/E) module 
and programming a 
Digital Link Descriptor in 
the Digital Links form, the 
Framer module LED 
appears red. If you 
perform the STAT 7 1 2 
maintenance command, 
the PLID shows “No card 
installed at requested 
slot”. (A loopback 
connector (Pins 1,2 to 
4,5) will cause the LED to 
flash green.) 
Protocol type not 
programmed.
After a digital link has been 
programmed, you must use the 
ISDN Protocol form to program the 
protocol type. 
System Configuration > Trunks > 
Digital Trunks > ISDN-PRI > T1 > 
Protocol Assignment
As soon as a protocol is assigned a 
STAT of the card will show a valid 
state such as “not seizable”, or 
“idle”.
DSP card or 
module
Card fails to come out of 
reset.
Both PostSoftware and 
PostMaintenance logs are 
generated as well as a “DSP 
Card Status” alarm.
Disconnect controller power and 
then reconnect. Newer versions of 
DSPs have been updated to prevent 
this issue from occurring.
DSP Fails to Boot. No DSP resources. No dial 
tone on analog devices, 
embedded voice mail ports 
don't function, and so forth.
Remove and re-seat the card. 
Reboot. They should be looking at 
the connectors for bent pins etc. 
NOTE: Ensure that the screws are 
not over tightened! Over tightening 
of one side can cause the other side 
connector to rise up.
PostSoftware Log: StartUp 
(BindId=0) 
pCOam->coDspBoot failed 
with: 
DSP_PROGRAM_ERROR 
for card: 3 and dsp: 0
If the problem persists, then 
remove/replace the card completely. 
This card only needs to be 
immediately replaced if it is the only 
card/dsps being used for Telephony. 
If it was being used for Telephony, 
but there are still dsps left in the 
system, this is still fine but the user 
may be traffic limited until it is 
replaced.
