Adding a 2nd PRI for the first time

[DigitalMind]

I'm going to a site in a few hours, where I will be adding a 2nd PRI to their system. Installing 1 PRI, no problem. What do I need to know about adding a 2nd ??? Is it possible to have them both be part of the same pool so that the route I built for the first PRI will now also take channels from the 2nd ??

Thanks in advance ...

I don't know if they can be in the same pool, as I have never dealt with that circumstance.

If not, create/use a schedule that allows overflow to the 2nd PRI pool.

Assign the second pri to the same pool, it will work no problem.

When in doubt RTFM (read the friggin manual)

Just assign both PRI to the same outbound Route. PRI doesn't work in the traditional Pool mode. I would also make sure if there is a high inbound call volume to consider a second clocking source if you do not have.
