I have a Mini carrier remote that shows many channels connected, but a STAT in LD 32 of the PBX shows few if any of the related TN's busy. As a result I'm getting "no timeslot avaliable alarms" in the mini carrier remote.
Any suggestions?
 
Mini carriers use 2 channels from each T1 for signaling and thus no calls can go across those channels. I think it is the first 2.

How many spans do you have 1 or 2?

If you have 1 is the second one disabled?

Yes, I agree the first 2 channels are used for signalling. We only have one span and the second is set as unequipped in the configuration.
 
T-1 is all dedicated to the phone system. Not stripping off any channels for data.
 
None. Customer was made aware years ago when we put this in that They could how no ACD phones on the end of this thing.
 
You're probably going to think I'm nuts but here is what I've proven. Call forwarding active on a phone causes a channel on the T-1 to be busy. Not only that but the channel doesn't go idle when you de-activate call forwarding. You actually have to use the phone, just get dial tone and hit the release key, Before the T-1 channel goes idle. Have proven this on two different systems.
 
Cool info MUGGER10 - I never would have thought that to be the case.
