MWI on BT-ITS Dealerboard 1

[PareshTC]

Hi All,

I have setup a CS1000E Rls 5.5 with a SL1 trunk connecting to a BT-ITS dealer board system. I have configured it as SL1 as the dealerboard guys told me it was MCDN protocol, and not QSIG. I tried with ISGF, but the B-channels wont work.

Now over the SL1 link, all features work, apart from the Message waiting indication. Everytime in the DCH trace I see the NMS Facility message it shows a STATUS : UNKNOWN. As per my memory, it needs to be say something like MW ON/OFF and not UNKNOWN

I think its some missing config on the PBX. Could some share some information with the config if you have set this up?

Rgds,
Paresh

RCAP = ND2 TAT MWI

I don't think there is a lot of action, but there is also a turret forum: forum1291

@GHTROUT

I see that you have been comparing the two systems on other threads, do you have any information. Did you manage to get the MWI working

Too long ago - left that firm. We went IPC though.

SLI is Nortel proprietary protocol, normally for M1 to M1 connection, so unless the dealer board is 100% compliant with the SLI protocol, you might have a hard time getting this to work.

my mistake, it should be SL1 not SLI

Hi All,

Thanks for all the replies. My problem is that the NMS Message goes out with a STATUS of UNKNOWN instead of MWI-ON or OFF. This i think might be related to a discovery I made yesterday.

Callpilot seem to have NMS==>no in the licenses. This is interesting as the Features and Services in System info show 500 odd NMS sites available.

I think this might be the problem, as the DCH does seem to try sending the NMS message, but cant get a correct value from the CP server.

Can someone tell me if this is correct? Do I need to have NMS=YES in Callpilot to support a NMS message over a DCH?

Hi All,

After working with the BR-ITS developers, we found out that you need to have RCAP no set to MWI for the message waiting to work. Wierd, but it works just fine.

Solution ==> For integration with BT-ITS dealerboard over SL1 *do not* have RCAP=MWI.
