i will be installing a CS1000s next week for the first time. This will connect a banking network. Does anyone have any quick insights, tips, lookfors or lookoutfors.

thanks
 
Only advice I can offer is make sure all deplists are updated on the call server, sig server and VGMCs, and follow the NTPs like its the Gospel itself. If you follow the NTPs, things should go smoothly.
 
i would suggest going through ld 11 in the manual at least one, list of prompts will help you bypass a lot of problems that burnt me on my 1st install.. another thing i suggest is to leave space in the ncos block, frl 0 needs to = frl 0 thru 7=to 7, but don't use 0 2,or 7.. i usually make 1 internal, 3 local and 5 ld.. then later you might need to squeeze in one for local plus instate, or 7 for internalional.. if you end up adding auth codes, the space helps.. i've had to move 1000's of sets on a working system because the install used 0 1 and 2... 1st request for some local sets to be turned on for certain calls required a major rebuild... plan to use the frl to nocs as a last resort only... i've done it once when come one had programed all the sets wronge and i didn't catch it untill post cut...

they had copied a database from a dms, ncos 0 means 0 restrictions.. so my bigshots all had ncos 0.. 2000 plus sets and the courtsy phones were ncos 7.. years later a pretty good tech like to went crazy making changes and let me know...

another thing i do that a lot of techs don't.. look at my database, my 1st pri for local is loop 3, my route is therefore route 3, my dch is 3 etc.. my ld route (1st) is loop 100, that is route 100, dch 100 rlb 100 dgt 100.. you'll need to maxp out some params but they don't cost extra.. think of the next tech that sits in your chair, it will make your life eaiser.. another hint, do a lot of searches here on installs, look at gh's website.. he's documented a lot of good work.. if ace or perry or dlesap, hawks, jan has a post read it, when any of them have a problem or answer one, i write it down... the rest of the techs here may be as good or better, those have been here a long time for a reason.. i did my 1st install in 78, it was a lot less to play with.. i had to look up how to wire a null modem, no one in the state knew what it was? that's been a while

Only thing I can think of (having just done one) is to remember that you have NO cabinet zero and therefore no CC0 etc and all loops begin at 11. Also no PRI's in slots 17-20. 27-30 and 37-40.

Simple I realize, but when you do things by rote, it can slip you up easily.
