Maxed out on Trunks

[killbox]

I have 3 412 cards, 1 800 gs/ls, and 3 T1 cards. A magix can only support 80 trunks and my point to point T1 card is the last one. I'm only going to be using half of it. Which falls under exactly 80 trunks.

The system will not let me add the trunks as TIE when I'm trying to set up the point to point. I'm assuming this is because the rest of the ports on the card are bringing the system up and over 80??

Even if I get rid of the 800 GS/LS and gain 8 ports, I'm still short 2. What can I do??

If you are set up as commom channel signaling, it will try to use the 24th channel to do signaling, of which you don't have, where as robbed bit would use the same channel to send signaling as the call is being made. I haven't run into this problem, but this is what came to mind.

There is not much you can do, the Merlin/Magix is limited to 80 trunks and it automatically looks at the DS1 cards as 24 trunks (whether you use them all or not). If possible, you could eliminate the 800 module and replace 2 of the 412 TDL modules with 1 024 TDL module.

franke is right on!

3 times 4 is 12
3 times 24 is 72
1 times 8 is 8

Add them all together and you have a total of:

92

Dude, you got a grand total of 92 trunks in a system that can handle 80 only.

I promise, anything past 80 in the way of trunks will not work!

The system will see the cards in inventory, but they will not work.

There are some other possibilities, but we must consider,

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO HERE?

True, he has 92 trunks, but he is only trying to use the first 12 on the DS1 Card.The last trunk he uses is 80.I was told by pre-sales that if you went over 80 trunks on a PTP T1 and set is up as electric tandem PRI. Yet, still had b-channels under 80, the D-channel would still work, it just wouldn't be supported by avaya. With that theory in mind, he should still be able to use the first 12 trunks of the last DS1 card, because they are present and can be administred.

 

[franke]

jinxs, I believe pre-sales may have misled you. As the first post noted, you cannot add anything over 80 trunks. As for the T1 modules, whether you use 1 channel or all 24, the module still 'adds' 24 trunks that count towards the maximum of 80.

Right, I understand that....But why can't you program the first 12 trunks in the DS1 card..considering it would be 869-880?? Espically if he is programming them to be TIE trunks and not even a PRI which would require the D-channel. I know it counts as 24 trunks, and the last twelve would be rendered useless. By all means though, the first twelve should be programmable.

I'm aware thte system can only handle 80 trunks, but I thought since it was a P2P, there would be a work around.

Well I fixed it by shuffling cards around and getting rid of the 800 card.
But I'm having trouble getting the point to point working as a PRI with a Definity Prologix. I know the Merlin's right. It's set to Merlin Network, the UDP is done, But I think the Definity is missing something??
