t-1 questions

[jacobbryanmiller]

1st - thanks for help with remote admin on a partner acs r3, took some time to find it but the answers were all there. This will sometimes save me having to hike (in waders) across a river to get to one of my systems.

real question. t-1, how to learn about them, order them. I am an electrician most days but due to location (100 miles from anyone specialized) I also admin 4 phone systems, two Partner ACS's among them. (and do it badly, I'm sure)

One site, a school, is remote but has a 4 channel t-1 radio link for voice and data. costs a fortune for a remote network company to provide a 56k internet circuit, and the school needs more. I am convinced I could hook a t-1 to their pbx and save them some money. Currently using 19 co's on the t-1 channel bank, and for one thing this would save two d/a conversions by allowing the phone co to provision it as a t-1 instead of breaking it out in town, into a tellabs channel bank to make a t-1, wired out of town, radio across a river and back out of a mirror channel bank.

If that sounds backwards, it may be. believe it or not the local telco guys know less than I do. only in alaska.

figured you guys might know where to look this stuff up, and have tips for a data circuit newbie.

thanks again for the remote admin help, jay

Just read your question, first to whom do the channnel banks belong, telco?, and why are the using radio (I assume microwave) to cross the river, don't they have cable across?
second, how far from the CO is the school?
If you want it may be easier just to email me, I've been doing T1's for a long time,and may have some answers for you
