DSL Line dropping, need cable pull for ATM interface to come alive

Hi all,

We've recently changed our WAN to use ADSL and SDSL circuits rather than a combination of leased lines and ISDN dialup systems.

All seems well apart form one circuit where the installed Cisco 828 keeps falling over. There are intermittent problems on the circuit and the router simply stops responding until the SDSL cable is physically pulled. About 30 seconds after the cable is reconnected the router connects and all is well again.

It would appear that even though the circuit is ready it requires a cable pull or router restart to get the device going again.

If left the router will recover but only after a 5 minute period. When debugging the router without any connections present the following messages are sent every 5 mins:

Clearly there is a periodic timer for reactivating the ATM interface. Does anyone know how to change the period on this timer or have ideas as to how to recover from temporary circuit outages?

Never had any such problems when using ISDN or leased line technologies!

Many thanks,

Dave
