Customer has Legend R6.1. Service provider wants to bring in another T1. There is an existing T1, on a DS1 module,with loopstart and E&M channels configured for different numbers coming into the system and for outbound calling. The new T1 proposal is for a PRI point to point, between the customers two locations. The service provider would like to have 3to4 digit dialing between buildings. The other location has an Inter-tel system, so networking is not being programmed here. QUESTIONS: Will I be using another DS1 module to bring in another T1, PRI? Is there any requirement for where the module is installed in the cabinet? Can we have inbound and outbound between locations on this new T1PRI?

Legend R6.1 T1 PRI incoming/outgoing routing

Yes, you will need to add another 100D DS1 module inorder to connect a second DS1/PRI circuit to the Legend. The Legend can be programmed for calling between the switches and for outward access. If you don't have the Network Reference document, you can download it from Avaya's web site: support.avaya.com . This document covers all the stuff you need to know about programming the Legend for what you want to do. There is also a System Planning document that may be helpful to you.
You need to review the switches' and client's requirements and plan what you are going to do: Numbering Plan, what calls will be allowed, how Voice Mail will work if centralized, common answering, etc.
Since the other switch is an Intertel are you programming that too? If not, then someone needs to handle that aspect.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Jim. So, I'm going to install a DS1 module. Do I have to set up the system for networking? Or can I use the routing tables to get calls in and out?
I've programmed networking on the Inter-tel and Iwatsu systems many times, but I have never done any network with Legends. I've downloaded the Network reference document and will read later today.

Hi alebe,
Networking and a Uniform Dialling Plan (UDP) will provide a more seemless system with ease of use for the client. You want to keep it simple to use. The ARS will handle the outgoing call routing, so you will probably be using a little of everything.
Using a PRI config on the network DS1 will give maximum capability for both PBX systems.
Good luck!

Thanks again Jim. I've read some of the network reference document. What is the differnce between 100d and 100d-u board configuration? When I program the Lines/Trunk, PRI lines, does the "dial plan routing" handle the incoming calls, and does the "outgoing table" handle the outgoing calls on this T1 circuit? I'm gathering that since the other location is an Inter-tel system, true networking is NOT applicable here.

FYI:
Up to three DS1 carrier facilities (maximum of two in one carrier), and therefore
three PRIs, can be connected to the system through separate 100D modules,
each of which occupies a slot in the system carrier. In terms of system capacity,
each DS1 channel counts as a line/trunk, so the maximum number of B-channels
supported by the system is 69. Signaling for 69 B-channels is provided over three
separate D-channels, using up 72 of the system’s 80-line capacity.

I'm not familiar with a 100d-u module, the 100D is the standard DS1 module for the Legend. Then there is the 100DCD module which has a built in CSU/DSU (the data & DSU functions from Magix only), and the 100R INA module which works with Magix software only.
When using DS1 or PRI facilities, each one has its own config or set of parameters for its purpose: CO (PSTN) or tie network/tandem to other PBXs. So how calls are handled (station or outside) and what calls are allowed will be part of this. The dial plan is part of this also.
I think you should be able to do true switch networking unless there are incompatabilities. How well does the Intertel play ISDN for tie/tandem networks?
Hopefully, Intertel's documents are as good as Avaya's. Although at times you do have to read betwen the lines regardless of the company.
