I have been researching setting up PRI on an 0x32.I have it scheduled for monday of next week.I have all of the required hardware.I have reviewed the necessary programming.I really doesnt look bad.Anyone here have any tips or warnings to offer up?

Is there any such thing as a PRI set-up cheat sheet?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I take it you have the PRI keycode as well? Other than that, everything is pretty straight forward. Most of the default settings work just fine - NI2, ESF, B8ZS, etc. You will probably have to disable the card, change it to type PRI, and enable it again to make it come up.

Yes I also have the PRI enabler code.Does it work out a little easier to change the DN length to 4 digits and match them to the DID's?The DID range is only forty numbers. 3900 to 3939.Any problems that would arise as a result of that numbering scheme?This is a new system and the customer has not specified any particular extension numbering plan.It is only 14 phones but the customer just "has to have DID numbers". :rolleyes: It would be different if it were 14 Users.Only 10 users,lobby phone,breakroom,copy room,and conference room. :shrug:

I will smile all the way to the bank :banana:

Oh yeah, I knew I had another question.

Where do you assign the extensions to send the DID on outbound CID?

If you want to have your DNs match the DIDs, you should use 4 digits. No one likes DNs that start with 9...

Outgoing CLID is programmed in Terminals & Sets>Line Assignment>OLI#

All that works, but there is another way.

Tell the LEC or CLEC that you want 3 digit DIDs and they can't start with an 8 or 9. You don't have to take the first set of DIDs they give you. They have banks of them and can get more and can send you whatever number of digits you want, 3, 4, 5, maybe 6, I don't know, never asked for more than four, 3 preferable.

Also don't forget about SERVICES, you need to go into programming and do routes, and disable line pool access code 9 you will not need this because of the conflict with you PRI.

Correct you are gamedinasr, I forgot about having to build a route & destination code because we always do that for POTS lines as well.

Dont throw away the key code when your dont keep it on site or in your records at the office.

We had a system reset and loose its keycode we were told if we had the original we could reload it.
