VWIC-2MFT-T1 question

Is it possible for a VWIC-2MFT-T1(3640), to connect to a WIC-1DSU-T1 (2621xm)? This is a lab setup and the routers are interconnected via a homemade t1 crossover.

k. Serial interface is up, but line protocol is down. Cable definitely works, tried it on other routers.

Both routers' clock source is line
2621xm is defining clock rate
framing is esf
line code bz8

Is this a compatibility issue

Note: The 2-port E1 Multiflex Trunk VWICs has only one shared clocking domain between the two E1 controllers. So, if both E1 controllers are configured to derive clocking from the line, the clock references received must be synchronous. Otherwise, timing slips will occur on at least one of the controllers. If the clocking sources are pleisochronous and one controller is configured for "clock source line primary" and the other for "clock source line", it is likely the second controller will exhibit controlled slips in the output of the "show controllers E1" command. This behaviour is a hardware limitation of the 2-port E1 Multiflex Trunk VWIC product and is by design. However, independent clocking sources can be supported on the 2-port T1/E1 VWIC2 product when both controllers are used for data-only purposes.

You are right, I see lots of slips on the 3640 with the dual card. So what do I need to do to resolve? . I think the 3640 only supports using one interface of the two port cards (limitation I believe I read about). Anyway, the 3640's config is in the code snippet below, with some sh commands. Here is the 2621xm config (single wic t1):

interface Serial0/0
 description ***Connected to SL PE's s0/0:1 interface***
 ip address 112.1.1.1 255.255.255.252
 encapsulation ppp
 tag-switching ip
 service-module t1 clock source internal
 service-module t1 timeslots 24


I have attached the 3640s config in the snippet here

I dont have the "clock source primary" option. Its free-running, internal or line
