ISDN - PRI question

[McGruff753]

This may seam real basic, so please bear with me. We are going to be switching circuit carriers in the next month or so. We currently use DTMF, E&M with AT&T. The plan is to go ISDN-PRI with possibly MCI. I have 1.5 MB DTI-PRI Cards in slots 1, 2, & 3. Am I set as far as hardware? Or is there a different type of PRI Card I need to do this? It is in an Option 11 on Release 21. Thank you.

You shouldn't have any problems, are the cards TMDI's. If they are I see no problems

 

[McGruff753]

How would I check this?

 

[McGruff753]

That is to say, they are part number NTAK09BA.

do you have PRI's currently? if yes no problems just give ur present settings to the CO and just switch the cables to the CSU (you know thats just the ideal case)

if u've never had PRIs, u need to have D channel keycodes

in ld22 do an slt ...that gives a list of ur system limits

That RLS uses the NTAK93 or (NTBK51 for NI2} for the D-Channel card. Also you may want to make sure it is at least Enhanced software because I don't think Gen Bus allowed for PRI. Can someone verify?

 

[McGruff753]

Here's the printout. I *'d out the key code numbers listed in case that's proprietary.

REQ SLT
TNS 200 LEFT 60 USED 140
AGNT 300 LEFT 292 USED 8
ACDN 100 LEFT 93 USED 7

Go to LD 22 and see if you have package 146 (PRA) & 291 (NI2)

 

[McGruff753]

Yes, they do show in my switch.

 

[senk1s]

you have 64 D chanels ...so u r good to go is the switch at 25.40? (B+)

FYI: keycodes are tied to the system ID (dongle) and is pretty useless to any one else

 

[McGruff753]

No, it's 21.23

 

[hawks]

You will need the d-channel card to go with the NTAK09. Do you know the protocol of the PRI?

 

[McGruff753]

No. Can I see that in the switch or do I need to check with my circuit provider?

 

[hawks]

Check with the provider, the reason I ask is because the NTAK93 d-channel don't like NI-2 standards.
