Easiest way to connect two CS1000 to each other same location.

[mikkidee]

We have two CS1000 Nortel systems at the same location and we would like to connect them to each other so as to increase capacity.

Your connection point will be trunks between the two systems.

Easiest, quickest, good capacity and least expense would be to go with PRI trunks between the two systems. If expense is no issue H323 or SIP trunks would do the job, but add a bit of a challenge to the project.

you can wire a pri between the two.. rj45 pins 1,2 4,5 on the db-9 side that translates to 1,3 9,11.. you do not need a csu.. the switch sets the framing to esf the clock sets the bandwidth to 1.54.. the d makes it simple for msg lamps names etc to work transparent..

you will need to add steering codes for all the ext in the remote switch so that your dial plan works..those can be entered in blocks..

+1 to what John Poole says. I used to be an on-site tech at a site with 2 switches in the same room. They were tied together with 8 PRI's running on Crossover cables between the 2 switches.

As John also mentions, you will need to keep careful track of which switch is assigned particular DN's and keep the DSC's updated.

I currently have 2 CS1000's (1 CS1000E HA, and 1 CS1000M Chassis) located in buildings across the street from each other and connected via H.323 trunks - Works the same as if tied bye PRI's.

With the newer release it is even easier. turn on vacant number routing and send the call to the other switch. do this on both ends and no cdp needed.
