PRI Prompt on DCH

[jamie2]

Been awhile since building a DCH. I can not remember what to enter for the 'PRI' prompt.

You only need to enter anything if you are using Primary/Backup D-Channels for multiple PRI's.

I do have multiple PRI's.

My Primary is 18, and Backup 30.

DLOP NUM DCH FRM TMDI LCMT YALM TRSH
PRI 018 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
019 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
030 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
031 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
034 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
035 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
046 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
047 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
050 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
051 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
060 23 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
061 23 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
062 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00
063 24 ESF NO B8S FDL 00

Also, Its DCH 61 for Loop 61 I am trying to build.

The PRI prompt in the D-Channel configuration tells the system how to number the B-Channels across the multiple spans.

The PRI with the Primary D-Channel is alway number 0, the PRI with the Backup D-Channel is always number 1, then you need to continue with 2 being the 3rd PRI in the group, 3 being the 4th etc.

I don't have my books handy, but if you already have this configuration, print out one of your primary D-Channels, and look at what is given for it's PRI prompt. You should see a list of the Loop Numbers next to the 0, 1, 2, etc (member number) of the PRI group.

I tried <CR> past the prompt and it appears that worked. All my Loops and DCHs appear the same.
