Back-To-Back T1 ( VWIC-2MFT-T1 )

pedro.alexandre
Level 1
Level 1

Hello !  I'm trying to create a Back-To-Back T1 connection to simulate a PSTN in a Lab environment.  But I still had no success. 

I'm using two Cisco Routers ( CISCO2811 -  Version 15.1(4)M8, and CISCO2801  - Version 12.4(13r)T ) with a  VWIC-2MFT-T1 card each. 

Maybe someone here can help me.  Follow my config and some debugs bellow.

I've never did it before. Am I missing some important thing ?  

If you have some useful information, let me know  =)   Thank you !

You usually want to try with a loopback cable to make sure the port is working properly.

I already found the problem.  I put the isdn protocol-emulate network command in the second router too. When I remove it, it worked perfectly.  Thank you anyways !
