VG200 -moving to PRI 1

[snootalope]

Hello..

Currently all my incoming DID calls are coming through a fractional T1 configured on my VG200 as:

controller T1 1/0
framing esf
linecode b8zs
ds0-group 1 timeslots 1-16 type e&m-wink-start
description Local DID Trunks

And we're moving to a Full T1 PRI. All I was told is this:
1. It'll be using protocl national I2
2. Swtich Type 5ess
3. All timeslots
4. Framing esf and lincode b8zs
So, my question is, once we roll this over, is this how my controller should look when it's ready?

controller T1 1/0
framing esf
linecode b8zs
pri-group timeslots 1-24
description Local DID Trunks

Is that all i have to change is the ds0 to pri and the timeslots?
thanks for any info

Either you ar using NI2 or 5ess but not both. Both are switchtypes and effect how your router talks to the switch.

Here is basically what you need.


controller T1 2/0
framing esf
linecode b8zs
pri-group timeslots 1-24

interface Serial2/0:23
no ip address
isdn switch-type primary-ni
isdn bchan-number-order ascen
no fair-queue
no cdp enable


Depdending on if you are going to support dialup or not, you can add the RAS settings here also. Keep in mind that although it says primary-ni, it also covers the NI2 protocol unless they are using a Cisco switch at the head end (doubtful).


It is what it is!!

Thanks!

i'm a little confused though by the serial interface you put on there. I don't have a serial interface on that router, only one single ethernet. I'm sure it doesn't matter in this case though..

Anyway, I appreciate your help!

When you change your MFT card to a PRI card (or switch it out with another card) and change the interface to use

pri-group timeslots 1-24

It will make the serial interface that corresponds to the controller. You can do much more with ISDN vs a T-1. Basically the serial interface is the commands to control the D channel.

thanks again.. We won't be replacing the MFT card that's in there though.

It's a two port T1/PRI MFT daughter card that does nothing but terminate voice (no data invloved on this circut). So, I won't be able to use the serial commands..
