I'm not a guru on the Nortel system by any means, but we have this dinosaur and I'm trying to add another PRI connection to it.
It seems that no outbound communications make it to the D channel. If I enl msgi and enl msgo, then dial the access code, I see nothing.
What seems crazy to me is that inbound communications seem to work just fine.
I have had a tech who is quite familiar with the Nortel system look at it up and down and he is baffled. He said there are no restrictions that should be stopping this--it simply doesn't work, and we get no SCH codes or anything indicating a problem.
I have one working PRI on the system, and it's in production so I'm afraid to touch that one.
I don't know the full history on this setup, but it was an Option11C that got upgraded to CS1000 4.5 and also had a signaling server added, so I'm lead to believe that makes the system a CS1000S v4.5. The working PRI was most likely built before the software upgrades.
Best guess at this point is that something went wrong during the upgrade but we never knew it b/c we never needed to add another PRI before.
