Adding a 2nd PRI to a 61c

[USCGCPO]

Greetings All,

Relative newbie with Nortel here. In a few weeks, we'll be adding a 2nd local PRI to our 61c. Running CS1000. I can't
seem to find what I need to do to get the system to recognize the additional PRI. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

did you add it to cequ in ld 17?

Does this PRI require it's own D channel or will it be using the D from the existing span?

Also, what kind of C.O. equipment is being used by the telco provider? What's in the IFC prompt on the primary D?

Finally, how are the existing PRI trunks configured, E.G. CBCT, ISA, TIE, DID etc..

CDMF,

The new PRI was ordered with a D channel. The IFC is ESS5, and both existing PRI's are DID. We're going to add it to an existing dual PRI card that the current PRI is on.

Okay, so if I'm understanding you correctly, this will be a back D channel to the primary already in service. Here is what you'll need to do;
1. add the loop in LD CEQU.
2. add the backup D channel in LD 17 ADAN. You may have to disable the primary D to do this, so you may need to do this after hours.
3. add your 23 DID trunks to the existing route in LD 16.

You'll want to go to LD 96 and make sure the new D channel is disabled and LD 60 to ensure the new loop is disabled until you complete the turn up with the telco. I'd typically do this on the night of the turnup, to avoid any issues with the D's or loops.

Hope this helps.
