PRI routing & digits 1

[thephonelady]

I am converting 2 T1's to PRI's and could use some input about dial plan routing. There is a bank of 100 DID's 2100-2199 which will match my 100 series stations. There is also a new bank of 20 DID's 7300-7319 and some existing DID's in the 8300's which match the 300 exts. I only need to use 5 of the 73XX DID's for the 800 numbers to route over to various extensions, LDN, calling groups and 13 of the 83XX DID's for existing stations. The 73XX did's do not conflict with the 83XX DID's. Can I have the carrier send me 3 digits and use my routing table to manipulate the 73XX DID's that I need to use? Will the system look at the routing table first before it tries to match it to an extension? I hope this makes sense!
Thanks in advance!

Since each PRI has its own set of parameters, that would include Dial Plan Routing. So any digit deletions or adds, etc. would be according to the requirements of the digits sent on that PRI.

Now are the 2 PRIs sharing the same CO switch trunk group for all the DID number ranges? Or does each PRI have its own DID number ranges?

It will be set up as 1 trunk group 17 channels for each circuit

Here is a list of all DID's that will be coming over the new PRI's
516-8301 these match my stations in the 300's
516-8302 "
515-8303 "
516-8304 "
516-8305 "
516-8306 "
516-8307 "
516-8328 "
516-8329 "
516-8368 "
516-8369 "
516-8387 "
799-2100-2199 these match my station in the 100's
933-7300-7319 this is a new bank that have been added so
the existing toll free numbers can be routed individually. The only ones I will need to route are 7312-7316 so there are no conflicts that I can see within the 300 range.
I know I can only manipulate 16 in my table so would getting 4 digits be the best? I can delete the first digit for the DID's that match my stations and delete all 4 from the digits that I need to route differently?
Does this sound right?
If there is a better way I'm all ears!!
Thanks

A four digit feed would give you flexibility, and each PRI table has 16 entries. Remember that when you add an entry to the PRI table, they need to be added to BOTH PRI tables, since they are from the same CO switch trunk group per your post above.

I just wanted to be clear that any DID number can land a B channel on either PRI when they are part of one CO switch trunk group. So you have a total of 34 B channels and 2 D channels.

If I am getting 4 digits how do I delete 1 for my 3 digit station numbers. Yes, the 4 digits will will allow me to delete 1 digit for my exts and take the 4 digit did's that need to be routed to call groups & ldn and fax's and delete all 4 and add what I need- I really appreciate your help especially on a weekend- I get a bit anxious when I turn up a PRI on a Legend or Magix that has mixed numbers like this - I prefer to do this on an IP Office! At least with a T1` it's more straight forward.

The Dial-Plan Routing for PRI is covered in the Feature Reference document for the Legend/Magix under Primary Rate Interface. You can get a copy here:

http://support.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100009879

The System Planning document is another good item to use. It contains the forms you can fill out when planning system changes and for programming to keep all your "stuff" together. It includes helper descriptions.

Your Network Service for all your entries will be: ANY SERVICE.
Here are your first two Entries:

ENTRY: 0 1
NTWK SVC: ANY SERVICE ANY SERVICE
EXPECTED DIGITS: 4 4
PATTERN TO MATCH: 2 8
DIGITS TO DELETE: 1 1
DIGITS TO ADD: _ _

These entries will give you the the 3 digit station numbers that match your Dial-Plan from the DID numbers: 516-83xx and 799-21xx. When you review the documents, I think you will see it really is not that complicated. Post back with your five other entries for the Toll Free numbers if those will need manipulation and we can see if you got it. Otherwise, if the Toll Free numbers are going to a Calling Group or LDN, and it would be appropriate, you could just renumber the destination with the 4-digit DID number, that way you would not need any table entry for those specific numbers.
Except, I just realized that the 20 number block, 933-7300 - 7319, as a 4-digit feed would be in conflict with the first 20 Adjunct station numbers. So then, you would need to renumber them to something else as needed or what would work for this situation. I will leave that decision to you.

Let us know what you think about this.

Hi Jim- The 73XX extensions have already been renumbered so I need not worry about that issue. I do however have 2 did's that end in 300 but I should be able to take the one associated with an 800 number and strip all 4 digits and add what I need- I really do appreciate your help!! A thousand stars for you!

Jim- The cut went ok especially after the CLEC remembered to change some settings on their end, however I can't seem to get any of the did's in the 8300 range to route anywhere. The 2100-2199 are just fine using 2 as the digit to match, looking for 4 digits & deleting only 1. I have a small bank of did's in the 83XX rrange that I can't seem to get to go anywhere except the console. I have a new bank of 20 ending in 7300-7319 & I am able to route those fine but not the 83XX series. I originally had it set up to have 8 as the digit to match, looking for 4 digits and deleting 1. When that did not work I tried to route a few individually by using 4 digits to match, deleting all 4 and adding 3 digits to match where I wanted it to go. That didn't work either. I really don't think it is my problem at this point & don't think it is an issue that there are a few 4 digit did's that have the same last 3 digits or I probably wouldn't have been able to route any of the new 73XX did's.
Any ideas? Thanks! I will be going back in the AM to work on this- E

When you call the 516-83xx block what shows on the console?

Since you made various translation changes, did all of those test calls go to the console also?

Please post a print of the PRI config. You could try renumbering a station to 83xx as 4 digits for testing to see what happens, but in order to do that you would need to renumber line 830 first to something else. Also you would not have any digit manipulation in the table for the 83xx test.

I have a hunch that the CLEC may be at fault, not sending the correct digits for the 516-83xx block.

Let us know the results.
