I had a similar problem over a year ago, with Release 6.0. One of my PoPs 
was fed from a Nokia DX200 switch. If I loaded 6.0.x onto one of the 
Nokia-fed boxes, I would get LA on the Max, but no calls would be passed 
to the Max by the switch, and calling the PoP phone number gave a busy 
signal.

However, in this case, resetting the PRIs from the Max end still didn't 
fix this.

According to the Ascend EMEA techs who worked on this problem, there was
an issue in the 6.0.x code which was not acting on reset and control
signals from the switch. 

This problem was given TR 250267, and fixed in 6.0.8 and 6.1.1. 

It may be worth referring the Ascend tech you are working with on this 
problem in the direction of this TR, as it may contain some clues about 
what's going wrong.
