Why would you want to be using AMI, D4?? This means either your circuit is
lineside CT1 or your configuration is incorrect. In my experience most AMI, D4
circuits use an FXS signaling. If this is in fact a trunkside circuit you better
check the line specs with PacWest. What kind of switch is this on????
