Adtran 908e 2nd Gen Dual PRI Failover Issue

908e 2nd Gen Dual PRI Failover Issue

In testing the 908e 2nd Gen I discovered a problem with the ability to route inbound calls to the second PRI when the first one was unplugged. If you did a shutdown ("admin down") on the T1 for that PRI it would send the calls to the second one. If you just unplugged the cable and it became "DOWN", inbound calls would not complete. 

Support articles showed possible problems with the A2.X release of the AOS. I opened a ticket with Adtran support to discuss further. It was confirmed that the A2.x release had a problem with how it handled this. there is a work around for this, but the A2.x version is no longer supported by Adtran. The suggested fix was to leave the config the same as I had it and upgrade AOS to R10.9.5. After the upgrade, and reboot, the testing completed successfully. Now when I unplugged the cable from PRI 1 inbound calls got sent to PRI 2.

The AOS file I used is labeled for the 900e 2nd Gen series, not the 900 series.

AOS version used in upgrade is R10.9.5:

This AOS release allows for a single SIP trunk, Two T1's/PRI's, and single ISDN-group with both PRI's in the group. Example:
