    ISDN vs. T1

    t- The first place to start is with the video conference manufacturer. Ask them to go over the connectivity requirements for the equipment in full detail. Next, determine if you have any PRI circuits on your PBX. If you do, you can get a BRI-U or BRI-T interface card (depending on the...

    "call forward" creating a loop (ring-back) situation.

    The problem described would not be caused by a phone being forwarded to itself as that condition will not cause a loop. Also, any condition creating a loop would be handled by the setting for the system's orbit timer. Any loop condition eventually times out based on the setting for the orbit...

    backing up/shutting down PBX

    Opt 11 PRI card is a digital trunk interface card with a D-channel daughter board. A PRI circuit is a B8ZS/ESF clear channel T-1 terminated to PRI cards, on switches at both ends, running PRI software. The D-channel provides caller ID and call setup and teardown messages among other things.

    T1 vs. POTS

    PacBell probably has no involvement at all, but you should call AT&T to find out who provides the local loop into the building. My guess is that the T-1 provider for that office is AT&T Local Services, an idependently run "cousin" of AT&T. If that is the case, then you simply have a...

    Call flow that happens in Meridian System

    Didn't mean to riddicule your question. Just looking for something a little less broad. From your last response, I'm guessing that you don't have DID service. It sounds like someone dials a number that comes into your switch and then you want the caller to get a greeting and enter an...

    Call flow that happens in Meridian System

    That's a rather broad question. Kind of like a "how do I build a rocket ship and fly it to the moon" type of question" It would help if you could narrow it down considerably. It would take thousands of pages of documentation to address every possible configuration. All I can...

    Identifying copper TNs

    Assuming 4 0 0 0 and 4 0 0 7 are analog COT trunks terminated to a universal trunk card, I'd say your carrier sends out 212-490-3007 as the ANI on all outbound calls over the trunks connected to these TNs.

    identifying copper trunks

    I'm guessing these are analog copper COT lines terminated to a universal trunk card. When you order multiple analog COT trunks from a carrier, they typically set up a phone number, collectively on all the trunks, as a "bill to" number. This bill to number is sent out by the carrier...

    How do you make a crossover cable from an RJ-45 from scratch?

    Did not know that. I stand corrected.

    How do you make a crossover cable from an RJ-45 from scratch?

    Midnight's pinout is correct for RJ-45 ethernet crossover cable.

    Nortel Companion Telephones

    When we got our 61C, many moons ago, we received dozens of Companion phones, base stations, admin telsets, etc. Due to the cost involved it implementing Companion sets, we never used them. As a result, I have boxes upon boxes of Companion phones, base stations, admin sets, etc that are...

    Can't enable D channel

    When I first brought the loops up, I used the ENL loop command in LD 60. That's when I got the first DCH: 1 DISABLE INDICATION TIME: HH:MM:SS REASON - ** (00000086 ) Subsequent attempts to disable and enable the loops and D channels, in both LDs 60 and 96, in various different...

    Can't enable D channel

    I just built two new PRI loops. They are NFAS, with one primary DCH and one backup. When I try to enable the primary DCH (ENL DCH 1), the following message displays immediately after I hit <Enter>... DCH: 1 DISABLE INDICATION TIME: HH:MM:SS REASON - ** (00000086 ) Does anyone...
