DCH on MSDL 2

[FunWithNortel]

I have an existing MSDL card with 2 open ports that I am going to use for DCHs for 2 new PRIs I am installing.

The MSDL currently has 2 DCHs for two othe PRIs

My question is will enabling the 2 new DCHs on the MSDL card interrupt service for the two PRIs already installed or can I make the adds without affecting service.

Thanks for the help!

after you build the new dch's.. you have to dis msdl x all, then enl msdl x fdl.. you'll see sdl 100..ie down;laod in progress.. under to minutes..

the up side is calls in progress do not drop.. the d is only used for setup and teardown..

when i can i build the pri and backup d's on two different msdl cards.. then you can dis dch x auto (all ld 96m btw),, that makes the bdch active and no call disruption happens..

You should be able to add them w/o affecting the other 2, however if you do have trouble, or it doesn't come up, you will have to FDL the card, thus causing interuption. With 4 D's on 1 MSDL, might run into trouble with too many messages received, causing the card card to lock or reboot randomly. As cheap as MSDLs are today, I would add one.

yes buddy, the card has to load that new code to play well with others.. i wouldn't have went into so much detail if i'd noticed it was you... you could teach this stuff

I don't run msdls anymore, except on PRI Gateway, I don't remember ever having 4 Dch on one card due to card crap out?? usually 1, 1 Bdch and maybe a tty

we rum 8 msdl's to avoid 4 per card.. if the op is still reading, it's not clean to have your d's and your pris in two different loops either...

my two ld loops.. 1 and 81.. the msdl cards lives in the same group as the pri card.. if i loose a group, i only loose the pri;s that live in that group.. if all my msdl's were in one group, my pris could stay up, just not take new calls..

Copy that. I'll put in an additional msdl card then.

Thanks!
