I have a customer with a Frac T1 service with 7 voice channels. One of the channels has all kinds of static but Telco has tested everything and I don't have a spare DS1 card to swap to see if it's the card and the customer doesn't really want to spend the money for a card if I'm not 99.9% sure the card is the problem.

Here's the question(s)...

Can I program any channel on the T1 in form 15 as long as I have seven programmed or am I right in assuming that since the telco is giving me 7 channels, they are channels 1-7 and if I program 1-5, 10 & 12 for instance, the customer will only be able to make and receive calls on channels 1-5.

Next question is I have a CSU ACE which the telco suggested could be the problem but my thought is if it's bad all channels would be bad not just one.
