I'm trying to figure out the hardware requirements for QSIG PRI on an 81C and an 11C. I'm reading through the ISDN PRI Features and Administration guide and the ISDN PRI Installation guide, and I'm faced with a bewildering array of cards, modules, and daughter boards. (Remember, I'm not the resident PBX expert.)
It appears that we need an MSDL card, or at least some other type of card with a DDCH daughterboard. I don't even know if that's accurate. I'm pretty lost in Nortel land.
It also appears that the hardware requirements differ between an 11C and an 81C.
Can any of you confirm in simple terms what is actually required to get an ISDN PRI with QSIG up and running on these systems. I know that our main PBX person will beat me up for even asking about this here, but I'm just trying to learn as much as I can before we have a meeting to discuss our options. I hate being uneducated about this stuff.
We already have a project approved to move ahead with a VoIP project that requires QSIG, but I just found out today that we don't have all the necessary hardware in the PBXs. Many of our locations have pretty old hardware, like DCHI cards, that won't handle PRI and/or QSIG. We need to figure out exactly what is required so we can make sure we get the right stuff as soon as possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
John
