Thanks. I now understand it from everyone's comments.

I don't understand your question - so I'll tell you what to do:
Select one timing source from one T1 that is a Telco connected T1
and make it 1 - example: most reliable T1 Source.
If there is two Telco connected T1, select it as source 2
Now if timing source 1 goes down, timing source 2 will take over.

These are REAL Telco T1s and not connected to a PBX. Am I to
assume that even if they are different providers the timing
should be the same? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Thanks,

My understanding there should only be one timing source per
TE410. You should use a "REAL" Telco T1 for a timing source. -
Otherwise, do not choose any if for example all PBX T1's
installed. The settings is only a priority level for asterisk
to obtain the source. Example: 1 = use this source first
choice, 2 = use this source if source 1 is down, and so on..

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Zaptel T1 Timing Source
Hi guys,
I have a question about the timing source parameter in zaptel.conf.
I have 4 T1s coming into a TE410P.
One T1 is with one carrier, who provides timing signal.
The other 3 T1s are from a different carrier, all sharing the
same timing signal.
Based on this, I have in /etc/zaptel.conf something like:
span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=1-24
span=2,1,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=25-48
span=3,2,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=49-72
span=4,2,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=73-96
What I have done is set the timing source of the first T1 to be
the primary source for itself.
For the other three T1s, I set the second T1 to be the primary
source for the group of 3 and the other two as secondary sources.
Is this correct?
The reason I ask is because every so often I hear people
complaint about call drops. It doesn't happen to everyone, so I
don't know if it has anything to do with time source selection
and synchronization issues that may be affecting individual
channels. After a report of a call drop, I check dmesg and I
don't really see any errors. Sometimes I just see ... disable
echo cancel... messages on specific channels, but that
shouldn't be a reason to drop a call.
Am I right? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Waldo
