Protocol error on TMDI D-Channel

I am getting protocol errors on the D-chanel. If I do PLOG DCH 3, I get #10 with errors. This states there are crc errors on the DCH. I installed 2 T-1's Point to Point. Main site 81c Far end a 11C. I programmed The 11c as adan dch 3 The Main site is Dch 9. I am wondering if it could be the Parm setting which is RS232 instead of 422 or having the MSDL in the RCAP on the Main site side. Any help would be appreciated. The other T-1 is programmed the same. I do not have any problems with that one. The span does not get any errors just the D-Channel. Thanks in advance.
The following is the 11c programming.

Follow up on my first post with NO replies. If I roll the T-1 on both sides. The troulble will stay with the Pac Bell Span. Bell says it is not their trouble. If Bell has a T-Berd in the N.I. in the RX, If they here noise on their t-berd is it coming from my PBX or C.o. I hope someone can help?
 
Looks same as ours...except we use DSEL 3VCE instead of VOD
 
Some protocol errors are normal

You don't need MWI on either dchannel
you don't need MSDL on dch 9

If your errors are constant - maybe you have a clocking problem. What type of CSUs are you using- do you need to set the clocks on them, On the opt11, are there other T1s - where is the clock assigned?, Are you getting slipps or bipolar violations
 
Right, this looks good. I don't use CSU's I go straight from the SmartJack from the LEC right in to my PBX, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Are the errors causing the span to fail? Could be the hardware. If you have working TIE lines to the PBX's already, and are adding this as an additional, try using the working hardware.

Reusser is right, I have Meridian Mail, CPND and all that jazz across TIE's with no RCAP information entered, except ND2, on both sides.

The trouble seems to be with Pac Bell. If I move the hardware the trouble stays with the circuit. I just can't get Bell to believe me. The errors are only on the D-channel. The actual span runs clean. If I go to Ld 96 and do a PLOG Dch 3. That's when I will see the problem. If there are enough calls going it will hit 255 then reset the counter. almost every minute.
 
I hope you had this solved by now, If not, have Bell check the shape of the digital waveform after the smartjack. If the rise and fall times, pulse width, and so on are not correct, it will get your d-channel crazy, specially when the circuit is stressed (many calls). It causes the D to loose connectivity and re-establish after a few seconds, as well as dropped calls. The problem is usually caused by a defective card in the smartjack, the equalizer portion of the circuit is not working properly. For a quick fix, you may want to crank up the gain on the smartjack card (if it has dip switches)
