We are installing our first PRI on a BCM 400 4.0.2.03. I can make outgoing calls ok. I need some advise on how to program the incoming lines. 12 lines, some will ring to a live operator (group), some will ring to the CallPilot. A couple will ring to individual DN's. Thank you.
 
On a PRI all they send you is out-pulsed digits. You need to build Target Lines which are virtual lines. Then you can apply to any one or multiple sets you like. You can receive as many calls, in your case up to 12, as you have intercom buttons or line appearances.
 
Is there a way to limit the number of calls to a single phone number on the PRI in the Norstar or is this programmed by the Telco?
 
Do yo mean he get 1 call and the 2nd gets a busy?

This is an Analogy so don't take it personally as some have.

Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.


 
You can only limit how many potential calls could be answered and how, live, vmail, or busy. But, you can't stop 12 people on the outside from dialing a solitary number. I doubt telco can or will.
 
I agree.

As I said, this is our first PRI. We have a public number that rings to a live person, an employee number that rings to the AA and another public number that rings to an information mailbox. We didnt want any one number to busy up all 12 lines and that is why I was wondering if we (or Telco) could return a busy after x calls to one of the numbers.
 
You can send a busy on the calls answered live, but not AA or info.
 
We have a public number that rings to a live person"
Don't give this person Vmail.
