What is a port network 1

[Mactele2000]

I was asked how many T's I have in a port network, and I did not know how to respond. Can someone tell me how I would I go about finding this information. Thanks

A port network typically represents a cabinet in a Multi-Carrier Cabinet (MCC) or a stack in a Single-Carrier Cabinet (SCC). In a G3si you can have one Port Network per cabinet, for a maximum of 3 Port Networks. Prologix systems are limited to a single Port Network. G3r, S8500, & S8700 systems can grow beyond 3 Port Networks. Each cabinet could be split into multiple Port Networks.

A port Network provides enough time slots and system resources to support up to 241 simutaneous 2-party conversations.

If you run a 'list measurement load-balance [yesterday, today, last-hour]' is will show you the reaffic per Port Network.

Not sure if the 241 is valid for S8700/G650 gateways. It was my understanding that the only limitation on those was DSP resorces provided by the MedPro boards. I thought it was for the TDM bus on the tratitional carriers.

We have two G650s configured into 1 PN, each has 5 T-1s and the balnace of the slots are stations,(and medpro). Having said that I dont know if its physically possible in a 14 slot chassis to get any more than 241 worth of calls, and the medpro boards needed to support those calls in a 2 carrier port network.

Thanks for the information guys, but I ran the report (Load-balance total yesterday-peak) and still don't know how to define or separate the amount of Ts in one port network. According to the report I have 13 PNs in one of my G3Rs. Any info would help.

Attached is the link to the Avaya Reports manual that addresses reading the traffic reports. Since you have a large number of Port Networks, I would do a 'list cabinet' to see how the cabinets are configured (what PN in what cabinet). Next do a 'list configuration ds1' which will give you information on every DS-1 board installed in the system. This report will give you the cabinet & carrier information. Compare that with the 'list cabinet' report and you should be able to figure out how many DS-1 boards you have in each PN.

list cabinet? does that work for anybody? I have a G3siR12 and that command doesn't exist. is there an alternate?

List cabinet only works in a G3r.
