IP trunk between a Cluster and a 3300

[mitelbr]

Hello, gentlemen.

I made a cluster with two MXe III. The MCD is 5.0 SP2 PR2. The cluster is working fine.

I need to do an IP trunk between this cluster and a 3300 ICP at Singapore.

I think I need to programm in the Singapore Network Elements form both infos from the clustered MXe's and programm all the IP trunk in the same way. The only difference is at the digits dialed in Singapore system that should pointing to the PNI.

Bellow is the configuration I think I should make in Singapore's MCD.

Network Elements
Singapore - type 3300 ICP - PBX ID 29 - IP 10.101.8.21 - data sharing no
MXe1 - type 3300 ICP - PBX ID 30 - IP 10.106.8.10 - data sharing no
MXe2 - type 3300 ICP - PBX ID 31 - IP 10.107.8.10 - data sharing no

Cluster Elements (do I need to fill this form in Singapore system?)
Cluster Elements
MXeBR - PNI 111
Cluster Members
MXe1 - PBX ID 30 - CEID Digits 11130 - Local No - Feature DN 1030
MXe2 - PBX ID 31 - CEID Digits 11131 - Local No - Feature DN 1031

IP/XNET
ICP/PBX Networking
Profile
PBX# 29 - Network Element Singapore - Local Yes - Max VoIP 30 - Max VoTDM 30
PBX# 30 - Network Element MXe1 - Local No - Max VoIP 30 - Max VoTDM 30
PBX# 31 - Network Element MXe2 - Local No - Max VoIP 30 - Max VoTDM 30
IP Networking
PBX 29 - Network IP Address 10.101.8.21
PBX 30 - Network IP Address 10.106.8.10
PBX 31 - Network IP Address 10.107.8.10

IP/XNET Trunk Profiles
Local Profile # 1 - Trunk Service # 2 - Interconnect # 1 - Remote Profile # 1

IP/XNET Trunk Groups
Xnet Trk Grp # 1 - PBX # 30 - Local Prof # 1 - Max Hops 26 - Net Signal IP - Voice Med Type IP - # of Trks 30
Xnet Trk Grp # 2 - PBX # 31 - Local Prof # 1 - - Max Hops 26 - Net Signal IP - Voice Med Type IP - # of Trks 30

Trunk Attributes
Trunk Service # 2 - Release No - Call Recognition Off - CoS 6 - CoR 1 - Baud 9600 - Intercept # 1 - Trk Label IP Trunk

ARS Digits Dialed
111XXXX route 10 (no digits to follow)
111XXXX route 11 (no digits to follow)

ARS Digit Modification Plans
1 - absorb 0 - inserted 0

ARS Routes
10 - IP/XNET Trk Grp 1 - Dig Mod # 1
11 - IP/XNET Trk Grp 2 - Dig Mod # 1

Is this correct?

Thank you.

why are you using PNI for such a small cluster?

if you were able to do a cluster you should be able to do an ip trunking between each member of the cluster and the one in singapore. why don´t you include the 3300 in singapore as another member of the cluster?

Hi, Dan.

This is the first time I configured a cluster.

I followed the manual.

I don't know what is the best way to make the communication between a cluster and a 3300.

Is there a best practice?

I understand what you say. If we have only two elements in a cluster, there is no need to configure the communication this way.

But can you tell me if what a sent here is right or wrong?

Thank you.

Regards.

If you are not sharing data then clustering is pointless as the RDN form will not have the remote extensions.

You need to do this completely with ARS

Hopefully the PNI does not conflict with any other digits

Build the IP trunks as you would with clustering

In ARS, you need an entry for the PNI + 4 digits to go that route.

Clustering is only viable when your sites do not have any duplication/conflict on the dialable numbers.

Using ARS to network your sites is much easier but has less functionality.

If all you need to do is dial site to site then ARS networking will do the trick.

Ok.

I don't have the access to the Singapore system because it is not part of our support.

But I need to give them info about the cluster so they can set the ip trunk there.

kwbmitel,

So the infos I sent here about the possible configuration are correct?

If they fill the Cluster Elements form they will need to fill the ICP/PBX Number form with each element of the cluster and their IP addresses or they only need to fill with PNI number without an IP address because the elements and addresses are already filled in the Cluster Members in Cluster Elements form and the Network Elements form respectively?

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

Thank you for your help.

Regards.

They do not need to fill out the cluster info at all, as I mentioned earlier, that is pointless unless the systems are sharing data.

You will need to add it in the Network Elements

Both systems need entries in the ICP/PBX form for themselves and the other system
Both need IP trunks for the other system
Both need ARS dial string to reach each other.

Neither need PNI's unless already existing for other purposes.
