I am building a CAS T-1 to plug into a 3600 series Cisco box with a voice-gateway card installed. This then has a QWEST DS3 terminating within the box.

My questions are:
(1) When I build the trunk group - on page 1 COMM TYPE: should it be VOICE or DATA. I have voice in there now. And then on page 6 MODE: e&m with ANS delay 20. Does that sound right?
(2) On the DS1 screen: LINE CODING-b8zs, Framing-esf, Signaling Mode-CAS or robbed-bit? I have CAS in there now.
Near end CSU- should I use an integrated 120A3 ICSU or nothing?
(3) Extending this to the Cisco Box - x-over cable required? And it will then come from the ICSU to the Voice Gateway card in the 3600, correct? With nothing chosen for CSU, how would it be extended to the RJ45 end on the cisco?

The Cisco box has been programmed for VoIP, and all it requires is my T-1 from the PBX...

All assistance is appreciated

Regards,
Chris
 
Does it need to be CAS? I also have a PBX to 3600 link, but mine is configured as ISDN.

Physically connected to the PBX, on the back of the DS1-interface, is a 25-pin telco cable. On the other end of the cable is rj45 with T-1 pin-out. I’m not 100% sure, but I do believe that when I installed this I had to reverse to transmit and receive on the rj45. I don’t know what this cable is called, but I'm sure you could get one from Avaya.

The group type is set to isdn, which is why I there isn’t a comm type on my trunk group. The service is set to Tandem.

The DS1 options are:

Line coding: b8zs
Framing: esf
Signaling: isdn-pri
 
Do you have a signaling group associated with your T-1? if so what are the settings?

Also the settings on your ds1 screen??

Thanks much!
 
Thanks sir. The URL was helpful. They explain the "set up" the original way I had mine configured. I put it back that way, and still no Green Light... oh well I'll have to get the Cisco guy involved I guess...

Thanks for all your help.

Chris
 
Once last inquiry here... TN464F or TN767E? Does it matter, and will the 464F work with Robbed bit signaling???
