Avaya SI build

[buzzuser]

I am building an SI and need the following

SI big enough to hold 180 analouge extns and 10 digi and one DS1

How many si cabs would i need ?
Besides a proccessor card what would i need ?

and is the any other kit i would need ?



thanks.. not build an si before

With 24 port cards 1 cabinet would be enough. you would need a tone clock, netcon, packet control... you need to know if its an scc cabinet or an escc cabinet. need the flash card. and dependng on what software you have depends on which boards you need espically on the DS1

Why on earth would you build an SI now? with all of the S-Series server, and media gateways, and G650's available..

if you use 24 port cards (TN793CP for analog stations, and TN2224CP for digital stations), that owuld be: 180 / 24 or 8 TN793CP analog cardsd, and 1 TN2224CP digital card, and 1 TN464HP DS1 card. Sounds like 10 cards, plus you need to add in the common controls (TN2404 processor and netcon, and TN771DP maint/test pack, and probably some kind of tone/clock).

This would easily fit in a G650, with an S8500B external processor. I would not use an SI at this point, it has been End Of Lifed...

Its a cheap customer and they asked for the SI ,,, i know 87xx and g650 are loads easier

We'll your buying it used then and you can't sell the licenses from one company to another without rebuying the RTU's. If you "customer" ever needs support from Avaya they will tell them that they don't own the switch. What I'm getting at here is you can't sell someone a used definity/communication manager without involving avaya.

I believe at this point selling an SI would be a violation of Avaya licensing. In order for the customer to license the system it will need to be upgraded which means the SI is no longer a viable option. Sounds like your leaving everyone open to extensive liability.

It depends on which release your customer wants to run. Anything over 9.5 is gong to require licensing. So if they want an SI but don't want to be on the bleeding edge of technology then they can use it. Otherwise they will need some type of licensing from Avaya. There are still a ton of people using the older technology because they really don't need all of the I.P. stuff.

Techma1,

It is a requirement that the system be licensed by Avaya even if it is below a 9.5. The customer must license the software/RTU from Avaya. If buzzuser sells the system to a customer without licensing through Avaya he may end up in jail.

You can still build it out of refurburished parts but you can't get any support on it. The only alternative is to keep buying parts from resellers.

That amount of analog devices may actually suggest that analog is mission critical, such as in a printing plant where mail devices and printing machines drive the need for dialtone. You're client may wish to rethink this stratagy.

Mitch, thank you for your insight regarding the client vendor relationship. LOL
