I am going around in circles for a week on this:
I have an Adtran Total Access 908 (V1).
And FreePBX with Sangoma **Sangoma A101DE Single T1/E1 PCIe Card
The Adtran as TWO T1 type ports:
T1_0/1: labeled “NET/T1”
T1_0/2: labeled “DSX-1/T1”
Typically Port 1 would go to a provider T1 connection, and
Port 2 would go to your PBX T1 card.
I have been absolutely unable to get a T1 carrier connection/indication
using the DSX-1 port no matter what I do.
Shows disconnected/no carrier on both ends (PBX+Adtran) no matter what I try.
The Adtran shows a carrier and connection on the DSX-1 port if I plug in
a T1 loopback test cable.
I always get a carrier/connect indication if I connect the PBX to the Port1 T1 connection
on the Adtran.
I’m confused why I can’t get a connection on the DSX-1 port.
And have tried many things including:
T1 straight cable
T1 cross cable
Putting PBX PRI card in “MASTER” mode versus “NORMAL”
etc etc.
Always shows a carrier if I connect to port1 (NOT port 2) DSX-1
But I can never get a “connection” on port 2 DSX1.
Loopback cable shows that all ports involved “work” and show carrier.
This goes a bit deeper as I cannot assign PRI services to port 1 and just “try” that.
It says “resource not available” using web interface If I try to add PRI services to T1 port 1.
But it let’s be add this to port 2 no problem.
But I can’t get a T1 connection to work on port 2.
Any thoughts/suggestions.
I am doing this just for fun & learning while no customer is needing this to work.
I thought I would give this a try and see if I might be able to figure out SIP to T1/PRI.
With some of this old stuff I have on hand.
It seems that Adtran has removed all information/firmware/docs for this “old” 2007 vintage equipment.
And searching the web is nearly 100% useless finding anything on these although they were very popular at one point and very widely used.
And many of these are still out there in use.
I am using the web interface for what I have tried above, but am perfectly comfortable using the CLI as well.

HAHA I didn’t think anyone would jump at this one quickly..
I can’t find ANY archived firmware for these 2007ish Adtran Total Access units.
And I can’t for the life of me figure out why I can’t get a T-carrier on the DX1 port.
Strangest thing ever.
I think if I could actually get the T1 carrier to work on that Interface I could do ISDN/PRI with SIP
and emulate a T1 PRI provider to the PBX.
And that would be fun.
Shucks…
Version 14 is one of the later firmwares so you should be good there.
What is your goal with this? I have and Adtran 924e V2 that I have that takes sip from my local FreePBX and turns it into PRI for a Mitel system I have as well as some analog FXS ports I use for a few analog phones. Are you looking to do something similar to this?
Hi Dan! Exactly that.
The end goal is to present a T1 PRI to a FreePBX with a Sangoma T1 Pri card.
My first mini-coal was to just see the T1 carrier/link on the PBX T1 card.
I was able to get this to link but only works on the “NET T1 0/1” interface.
No matter what I do I cannot get the T1 carrier link to come up on the “NET T1 0/2” Interface.
I have no idea why that port will not come up & show a link.
The port itself comes up and shows a link if I put a loopback plug on it. (connecting TX pair to RX pair)
It does not come up (show T1 link active) if I connect a T1 cross connect cable or straight through cable to the two ports on the Adtran itself T1 0/1 <—> to T1 0/2.
On the Adtran in the web interface you can assign what services to put on either T1.
It lets you “attach/assign” PRI/ISDN to the 0/2 (DSX-1) port without errors.
But will not let you do likewise on the 0/1 (NET) port, and reports “ERROR resource unavailable”
I do not get this error on the 0/2 port (it lets me add the service) and stays.
But I cannot get the T1 link to come up on port 0/2 no matter what I try except the loopback test plug.
Port settings are exactly the same on both ports.
Also here’s a copy of the running config. (passwords and serial number obvuscated)
