I have a serious dillema - looking for some advice!
I have a MICS w/ a PRI. The service provider is bringing me National Protocol. ESF, B8ZS, Ascending. No matter what I try I cannot get the NI-2 Protocol to work. I can get my incoming mapped properly w/ my DNIS digits, but cannot get outgoing calls at all. I thought I had my routes built properly using destination codes, etc. The only way I was able to get incoming and outgoing was to change the protocol to 4ESS. It worked so we rode it out. Since then the customer has had occasional calls drop that became more frequent. There are certain numbers that drop all the
time,some long distance, some International. Another Tech told me it was my low rev. 5.0 software. I upgraded it to 6.0. I still could not get the NI-2 Protocol. I set it back up on 4ESS, it worked great for 3 or 4 weeks.
The only problem the customer had was that the call took noticably longer to connect, but all calls made it through. Not a real big issue. Now calls are occasionally dropping again w/ "normal clearing" showing on the display. A
scheduled vendor meet only showed that w/ a T-berd the technician was able to make all calls without any drops. Of course, he was running National protocol. What am I doing wrong? I thought I was not building my routes/dest. codes properly w/ the NI-2 protocol!
