Perle 833IS dial in fails to connect and reports CHK_BC_CHID failure

Issue:
Perle 833IS fails to answer incoming calls and reports "CHK_BC_CHID failure" message in event log.

Cause:
The incoming call setup from the Telco indicates a channel ID of 0x83 (Any Channel) which is not supported on the Perle.

Solution:

The Telco must be able to specify the B channel to use: channel ID = 0x89 (B1) or 0x8A (B2).

The Perle event log will record the specific line that the call failed on:
41000000 (SxIxC0 CHK_BC_CHID failure)
Sx = card slot 1 or 2
Ix = BRI interface 1-4

Note: it has been reported that this failure will also occur if Call Waiting has been setup for the ISDN line. Have your Telco disable this capability on the line.
