Traditional Networking via Qsig

[wimico]

Can anyone offer any "gotchas" on so called traditional networking using Qsig across a dedicated T1 for two IP 406 systems? The customer for some reason does not want to use voip and scn (which would be much simpler to provision). Is it safe to assume that the basic programming is much the same with respect to the line, etc? Are shortcodes necessary for station to station calling across the T1? Each system has its own PRI for pstn calls and its own vm pro.
Any hints appreciated.

The only real gotchas are likly to be supported features accros the Qsig link, IIRC IPO only supports basic call setup & transfer functions. DSS keys etc will not showe extn stattus accross sites.

Also remember that calls ariving on a qsig circuit are treated as if they were dialed on switch & are not processed as incomming call routes.

I have a site set up via PTPT1 as PRI and not Qsig simply to be able to use incoming routing. I suppose you could use qsig but you will lose your incoming routes and have to build extensions to match the incoming numbers.

Also 3.1.58 finally solved dialing a busy number and not receiving a busy signal. The first site would see the busy and not pass the information to the second site.

Of course I meant 3.1.56

Thanks for the input. The customer wants as much of the "networking features" as possible without going to voip. I don't see any way out other than qsig.

I never tried but you could try this :
Create a IP line between the site's with SCN enabled, set the channels to 0 and use LCR to route the calls over Qsig.

Does it work??? using Qsig for calls and the IP for data?
