Welcome to the board, Jason! welcome
I can't understand how a PRI being transported across an OC ring can have any impact on the PRI (or the PRI Group's) features. Even though I work with 5ESS, and haven't used the Two B-Channel Transfer feature, I've never experienced any impacts on PRIs (or PRI Groups) that were simply caused by the PRI being transported across an optical carrier.

Even though your question is on-topic, this is an older thread. Since your question is associated with DMS-500, and you've also mentioned this in your similar thread over in the Nortel forum, I advise that we continue this discussion in your other thread that is already in progress over in the Nortel forum. :thumb:
