I’m an NEC guy now with new company and working at a Nortel site so please forgive my simple questions… oh yeah, and my long explanation!
We combined two buildings into one last year but left the PRI’s up at the vacant building till now. We finally had 9 main DID’s ported to the new building so we can turn off the PRI’s at the vacant building. DID’s being ported are in the 7000-7999 range. On the 61C switch here we have DID’s in multiple ranges 1600-1699, 6800-6999, 4700-4799, and small blocks in the 2500, 3100, 3200, etc.
When I do a LUDN I see that there are no 7000-7999 listed at all. I was told last telecom guy “reserved” the 7’s here because they were “main lines” at the old building. Plus, when I dial 7 followed by any number I get a fast busy.
I have already assigned unused DID’s not in the 7000 range with no trouble. With these handful of recently ported numbers in the 7000’s however, I haven’t been able to make them work.
Example: In LD 49 I added to the IDC, 7301(ported) to 5211(existing non DID extension). When I call the full number I hear one ring, a short stutter ring like its being transferred, and then it continually rings. I’ve used IDC previously in similar situations (not in 7000 range) with no trouble.
The phone company double checked and reassures me that all numbers have indeed been ported. Again, a good chunk of our DID’s here (none in the 7000’s) originally came from the old building and work fine.
Ok Gentlemen what am I missing? Thanks
