Hello

Is there a way by witch an E1 PRI or a group of PRI's can be set in a High Availability configuration?
 
I think possibly ... we used to pipe RLC/9150 communication over 4 E1s to Phillipines. Not really sure how it was setup as far as 'high availability' though.
 
What are you looking to accomplish with "high availability"? In a perfect world, the circuits will be available 24x365, thats pretty high availability. Is there some thing you are trying to accomplish with this setting/set up? A bit more detail on what you are trying to accomplish might allow us to help you with more specific answers.
 
we want to have a fail over solution in case one of our IPMG with PRI attached is down, other media GW can take the calls for it. I was thinking something like for example we have 4 E1 lines from the provider connected in hunting with the same numbering plan, 2 in one gateway and 2 in other gateway. My question is when the first GW fails the calls from the provider are sent to it or only on the one standing?
 
We run a failover for inbound service, where the provider will send the calls to another PBX in another building, then we route calls over our internal tie lines in case the first PBX lines go down and vice versa, so the scenario you describe should be pretty easy for them to accomplish, especially if they come from the same C.O. However if they are already one big trunk from the provider they would just see the first two circuits as down and roll over to the second two, in a similar fashion to all channels being in use and the inbound calls rolling to the first available channel.
If the problem you have on the gateway does not present the telco with the right information, you could end up with lines just ringing no answer, in a similar fashion to calling a POTS line with no phone connected, though this is not a likely scenario, I have seen it happen.
Outbound calls would of course be programming in the PBX to route appropriately when one set is down.
