Routing For New DIDs 1

[shmattie]

I have 2 PBXs on premise. The first is an Avaya S8300 and it has 2 PRIs attached. PRI A goes to our Telco and PRI B goes to the second PBX, which is an Asterisk server. All the trunks are installed and we can send calls between all links without any issues.

I ordered a block of new DIDs from my Telco and need some help with the Avaya configuration. According to the Telco, the DIDs are already live. I would like to get all the new DIDs to route through the Avaya PBX and terminate in Asterisk. I am very comfortable with configuring Asterisk but need some help on the Avaya side. With my limited Avaya knowledge, I am assuming this is done in 3 steps. First, I need to get Avaya to accept calls from the Telco for the new DIDs. Next, configure Avaya to route those calls over to Asterisk. The last step is configuring Asterisk to accept the calls. I have already done the configuration for the last step. Can someone explain how I would go about performing step 1 and 2?

Thanks for your help.

Are the new DID's coming down from the carrier with 4 digits, 5 digits etc...? In your Avaya dialplan that new range needs to be in there as extensions..

ex. new did's are 4 digits (4xxx).. in the dialplan there should be an entry for 4 with length of 4 and type is extension. To then have these ringing on your other system you probably need to enter those extensions in your udp/aar table.

Take a look at the last thread for udp, tac, aar dialing between the two systems
