With all due respect, you are in over your head. Call a technician familiar with Nortel and watch/ask as he/she programs. Best of luck.

System has been PRI all along. I installed it about 3 yrs. ago. Client is only switching to another carrier. T-Berd? Sure...I always carry around a $5k ~ $10k piece of equipment that I'll never use...

Err...I should've said "alternate greeting".

Isn't "9" (or "7"?) used to active alternate message (Spanish)??? That's how I've always done it.

Yes, confused is the correct term. As I mentioned, this is a low-budget carrier and they are asking me to do the site-survey for the new T1 install (I don't believe they have a technical staff). So, they send me this long, detailed check-form that I have no clue about (WTF is "glare"?!?). I told...

OK, thanks.

No try is no choice for ISDN-PRI the signaling is done through the DCH" Huh? There are signaling settings in the MICS that must be matched to the settings of the carrier. That's all I'm trying to figure out. The carrier needs to know from me what settings I need so that my MICS works on the...

It definitely will be a PRI. That's what the client ordered. The choices are from the carrier's pre-inspection form (which I've never had to fill out before). As you are aware, most "low-price" carriers/resellers are idiots. So...E&M Wink Start would be the correct choice?

The service (voice) carrier is asking me for signaling information on upcoming cut-over. My choices are: Loop Start, Ground Start, Wink Start or E&M Wink Start

I'm aware of the framing settings, not sure of the signaling settings.

I guess I should know this, but never have been asked. What type of signaling is required for an MICS with T1/PRI? Loop Start, Ground Start, Wink Start or E&M Wink Start... ???

Yes, I will keep the thread updated. The cut-over is a month away. I expect to hear something (begging?) around that time.

I'm in FLA where nothing is cheap. The installer who got the job is charging $80+/hr. and claiming it can be completed in 6 hrs. The client is an attorney. Hell, I paid a real estate attorney $285 for a 5 minute conversation that could've taken place over a cup of coffee. As mentioned...

$1500 is what I quoted originally (2 techs @ 85/hr. + supplies/hardware). I'm looking forward to a call from the client after this knob-job "F's" it up.

I estimated 2 days @ 8 hrs. (16 total - 2 techs), but some yabo under-cut me and said it could be done in 6. I honestly can't believe this is accurate.
