I have a long local access T1 with a router and CSU on the user end (internal) and a CSU on the interconnection to the carrier. The carrier also has a CSU toward the local access and another at the far end. There is another router at the other end of the far end CSU. Each T1 span has been tested with T-Berd and records clean. When we take down the loop backs, the routers come up and then down. We suspect the clocking on the multiple CSUs is not configured correctly.
Should the clocking be alternate; master-->slave-->master-->slave?
