Adding 3rd DTI w/ PRI

[BagsNYC]

Has anyone had any experience with installing a third DTI card on a 6.1 Norstar? Are there known issues? Any stumbling blocks I should be looking out for?

Thanks in advance..

I haven't done one, but you must use the new release T1 card as the 3rd DTI, and it must be installed in the first slot of a 12x0 trunk mod with no other trunk cards in that module.

Anyone have any real world stories to share on this type install?

The NT number for the required DTI is NT7B74AAAA

When using the third T1/PRI as incomming and outgoing there is a problem. The system has a tendency of slowing down. The 3rd T1 was designed to network 0x32 systems together and not as a regular T1/PRI. I had to take one out because of this and replace it with another type of system.

One must cognizant of the fact that only the new DTI cards will work outside of the core KSU. The part number for this affair is NT7B74AAAA as opposed to the older NT7B74GA-93 cousins.

Employ caution whence compiling a configuration composit.

Nope, sorry but two is my max so far. (he writes while feeling inadequate and ashamed.)

make sure your 6.1 is 6.1MR ... software released after apr 2004. that fixed a set of problems relating to off-core DTI.

the DTI's can be used for anything (CO or pvt tie lines)

senks1s, thanks for the info.

bkrike, no problem
