PRI INSTALL BCM 450

[Sam173]

So I’ve done a few on the MICS in the past several years using the FAQ and a bit of help with some techs.
Reading the Avaya install manuals and 305 pages of the Avaya Planning and Engineering has helped. From what I can read, once you provision the DTM card the rest seem to be defaulted by the system vs manually setting them up as for the MICS
Coding and framing: ESF/B8ZS
Protocol: N1-1 (DMS-100)
Trunk Selection Sequence: Ascending
Number of DNIS Digits: 4
1. Do I need to program the card in a disable mode before enabling it?
2. Am I correct that the target lines start at 361?
3. PRI pool will be Block A?
4. For the Dialing Plan and Routing config for Public, Destination code
- All of this seems to be defaulted already compared to the MICS.
- Destination code “9A” A is for any vs “9.”, off the MICS
- Route 000 vs 001, off the MICS
- Absorb length is 0 vs 1 off the MICS
- Do I need to program the Night or only Normal
There are no DID so phone rings at reception and voicemail as backup. Everyone has voicemail and already 4 digit extensions.
Anything else I should look at setting?

Coding and framing: Whatever the provider tells you, usually ESF/B8ZS
Protocol: Whatever the provider tells you, usually NI
Trunk Selection Sequence: Opposite the provider, usually Descending
Number of DNIS Digits: 4
1. Do I need to program the card in a disable mode before enabling it? You have to configure it, then enable it. Once its enabled you can set your parameters. They system will alert you to any changes that require a card reset.
2. Am I correct that the target lines start at 361? Yes
3. PRI pool will be Block A? Usually, but look at the first line of the PRI to be sure.
4. For the Dialing Plan and Routing config for Public, Destination code
- All of this seems to be defaulted already compared to the MICS. Not Really, the 9 is built, absorb all, use Route 000.
- Destination code “9A” A is for any vs “9.”, off the MICS. Yes, A is the wildcard character.
- Route 000 vs 001, off the MICS. Route 000 is added by default (just like the MICS) and uses Pool A. You will need to build route 001 and use your PRI Bloc.
- Absorb length is 0 vs 1 off the MICS. As I remember its absorb all on the BCM.
- Do I need to program the Night or only Normal. Normal, unless you want to use fallback schedules.
There are no DID so phone rings at reception and voicemail as backup. Everyone has voicemail and already 4 digit extensions.
(be aware that if you are not receiving DNIS digits, the calls will only ring the prime set. You cannot configure a line to appear and ring on a phone with PRI.)

Anything else I should look at setting?
Yes. Clock source.
The DTM will default to Internal, change it to External Primary.

Awesome SupportDude, was in this morning and noticed that the PRI is Block B line 09 to 31, Block A seem to be for the VoIP Trunks 1-8, so I programmed each set to access Block B, will be back tomorrow to have the PRI turned on.

Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks.

Hey SD, thanks for your help, it went well, only thing we had a reverse Ascend/Descend but once solved it worked well.

Thank you, very much appreciated.

 

[SupportDude]

Glad it worked out for you.
Most of the time telco will use Ascending, and we can set the BCM to descending.
You just need to be opposite the provider.

Cheers!
