T1 Norstar from Meridian 1

[Bunkerman]

I have a Norstar receiving 2-T1's (48 Channels) from a Meridian-1 Opt 81C. Both sides set up D4, AMI. The Norstar can receive calls but can't make outgoing calls. When a Norstar set tries to make an outgoing call across the T1 trunks, you get dial tone ok but when you dial the first digit you get a fast busy tone. Any clues???
Trunks are set up for Wnk start.

Are you receiving Norstar dial tone, Meridian dial tone, or Telco dial tone?

same question as supportdude, but i'd ask
who is giving the fast busy - norstar, m1, CO

If that is norstar - check norstar programming as to access/ dialing permissions ...and so on

You might want to consider using PRI between the switches.
A couple of keycodes on the Norstar and you're ready to go.
Plus, you can look at the D Channel messaging for better diagnostics.

I work with bunkerman. The T1 is the only option. We have gotten to the point where we can recieve incoming to the norstar, and some outgoing. For some reason after we acces the trunk from the norstar, we have to enter a 3 to dial any number with in the M1 but outside the norstar. The access code for the M1 is 7 to dial out. So we tried 37 and the number and that worked only to the sl100 connected to the M1. no commerical numbers work, all give a busy.

 

[SupportDude]

Sounds like you have dialing plan issues somewhere between the SL100 and the M1.
Are you using ESN5?

Strange, but found by changing the "DSEL" to VCE in the Meridian-1's RDB corrected the dial out problem on the Norstar.
That dial out problem was also strange, they could dial "1" "2" or "3" before dialing the number they wanted, and it worked fine (they could dial out).
Thanks for everyones responses. sorry to get back so late but I was side tracked installing Switch Expert.
