Urgent Cisco 2921 E1 config

[alkhatimvip]

Hi all

I've configured new cisco 2912 router to connect through E1 cables, but still, the serial ports are down. the ports AL LED is Amber all time, even if I unplug the cables. The balloon is connected to DDF 1 F/3 POS 15 on E1 patch panel.

Do I use wrong license or  Do I need to activate the E1 ports first?

here is my config:

"

card type e1 0 0

no network-clock-participate wic 0

controller E1 0/0/0
 channel-group 0 timeslots 1-6
 description site2
!
controller E1 0/0/1

Hi

 You should have uck9 license. And make sure the Telco company has properly setup their side. Clock rate usually is very critical for E1.

 Take a look on this guide:

I've changed the license to uck9, but still the E1 ports AL LED AMBER even if there is no cable connected, is that normal or somthing wrong?

Do I need PVDM module installed in order to use E1 card?
