Can an 800 number have both ISDN and MEG8/Megacom T1 trunks?

[navy1]

Want to know if an 800 number can have both ISDN and MEG8/Megacom trunks. Can I do this?? Want to have an 800 number with 2 circuits/48 trunks. Have 1 circuit as MEG8, on a SONET ring in Virginia and the other circuit as ISDN with a D channel, on a SONET ring in Florida. Want to use % allocation using AT&T Route-It and send some calls to Vienna and some to Florida. Can I mix ISDN and Megacom on one toll free number? Thanks very much for any replies.

I'm no wizard of SMS but % allocation is % allocation. As long as SMS knows what %'s go to which t-1 it won't care if one is ISDN or not.

Thanks Artesian2000. Can you help with another question? What if the 2 sites you want to allocate an 800 number's calls work off the same PBX. We have an Avaya S8700 in Virginia with an associated S8300/G700 in Florida. The 800 number has one trunk group programmed in the S8700 with the MEG8 T1s. How do I program the ISDNs in Florida for that same 800 number? Thanks for any help you can offer.

How are the 2 tied together?
You kinda of lost me with this. Does the 800 number has the same DNIS on both t-1's?
Are you saying this.
You're doing % allocation on the 800's to split between the t-1. You want to know how to program your Avayas to treat both incoming calls as the same.
I'm just trying to clear up what you need to do.

Thanks for trying to help me. 800# is set up in S8700 in VA as tie trunk group, immediate start. Currently have another trunk group built at another location which has it's own stand-alone PBX, same setup, tie, immediate start. In emergency, use Route-It and RRNs to allocate traffic between locs. That's pretty easy but not sure of this new scenario where I would have to split calls between two locations that both work off the same switch. Calls currently route to VA S8700 via an AT&T RRN, come in on the tie trunks in the one and only trunk group. Where do I put the new ISDN trunks at FL location. Another trunk group maybe tied in somehow? Thanks and sorry to be confusing. This is a new animal to me.

So you have that router built based on the 800 coming inbound. That 800 inbound I would guess has a DNIS attached to the number. So with that said wouldn't you build a similar router on the remote getting the new call based on that same DNIS value?
I kind of understand what you need. I just trying to break this down in smaller peices
