DMI

[SMMC]

Want to confirm DMI on a route only affects outbound calls? I have a PRI between two switches (my Nortel and a Seimens). I strip digits and send only 5 to them and that works great. I am having trouble allowing them to send me 9+7 to make local calls out my switch. Seems I'm just getting the last 4 digits and Meridian is trying to find users on switch. Any ideas? Thanks

It sounds like the DMI on their end is stripping instead of inserting digits. I have one of our sites setup to dial out of a central location and I have it inserting the 9 when I send the calls across.

So, if they dial 9-555-1212 it sends the whole thing across instead of stripping the 9 like it would normally. You could have it insert the 7 so when they dial 9-555-1212 it would send 7-555-1212 to your PBX.

Far end is telling me he is inserting a 9 and then sending all 7 digits. My extension on the local switch is 7505 and if far end dials 9 xxx-7505 they end up at my phone.

Turn on d-channel messaging on that PRI and watch what is coming across to you. If all you see is the 4 digit extension, then that is all the Siemens switch is sending.

LD 96
.ENL MSGI x (x = d-channel number)

The DCH messaging is a must.... at least see whats coming in....

Look at your RDB as well for the Nortel / Siemens link..... look for an IDC conversion.

Here is what I see coming my way, all 7 digits plus the 9 are there.

DCH 10 UIPE_IMSG CC_SETUP_IND REF 00000900 CH 120 15 TOD 10:13:28
CALLED #:94857505 NUM PLAN: UNKNOWN
CALLING #:41398 NUM PLAN: UNKNOWN

I have a couple otion 11's that call out using TIE back to me and all is good. This one has me puzzled

Post your route for this TIE line.

problem is probably that loop 120 is part of a DID route and not a Tie line route.

That is where I think I am with this. Need to change the trunks and route to TIE. Problem is far end needs to stay PRI and NI-2 and I can't provide that, it would have to go to Q-Sig. I think. If anyone knows a way around that let me know please. Thanks
