I have GTE here right now with all kinds of testing gear...

I have CT1 on a GTD5 configured like this:

---------------------- line0 - T1 Inband DS0 ---------------

Status: UP Framing: D4 Encoding: AMI PCM: u-law

Signaling: Trunk E&M wink start

Receive Level: less than -22.5dB

Alarms Violations
----------------------------- -----------------------------
Blue 1 Bipolar 6784
Yellow 1 CRC Errors 7
Receive Carrier Loss 1 Multiframe Sync 7464
Loss of Sync 1

Ignore the receive level...for now

The GTE technicians tell me that the PM3 is broadcasting b8zs even though
we are set up for AMI. It is intermittent and only happens when users are
logged in. On the smart jack, we see the ESF light blink when this occurs.

If anyone from Livingston is monitoring the list today...comments?

Anyone else seen this?
