Number of simultaneous sesions on a CLAN card

[wtdurkin]

We are using centreVu IP agent V2 a are getting connections dropped. We have worked with Avaya extensively, but to no avail. I asked them about the published figure of 500 sessions on one CLAN card, and was told that it is 420. When I pressed for more info, I was told that the number is ip endpoints, which cuts the number of sessions in half to 210. Someone's notes in Avaya tier 3 says 200, or so I'm told. Should I call back for a third time and see what they say?

I would appreciate if anyone has information about the true number of calls, and any other unofficial field knowledge you may have to keep disconnects t a minimum. thanks.

I'd check to see if they are talking about the 799C's or the DP boards, I would think with the new DP's they would have increased capabilities..

Also look at this though. The max you would want would be about 200 or so, because you would want to split the CLAN's among port networks due to the TDM timeslot usage. And most likely the calls will be going IP to TDM instead of IP to IP like you would on IP phones.

BuckWeet,
Good suggestion, especially in that we are using dual mode, so TDM time slots associated with the call would come into play. I wonder what the limit is for true IP sessions?

We have C & D boards, but it seems to work the same. However, the DP board is also 100Mbps, but the tech did not install the correct adapter/cable for the higher speed, so until we get the cable we are set at 10 Mbps. Hopefuly, this should increase the uptime, but we are looking at uppgrading to V3, which I believe enaables us to designate alternative addresses, but which probably can't be two different speed cards.
