Hello Fellow Techs...I am currently turning up a Norstar KSU w/MICS 6.0...The protocol is NI-2...I feel I have provisioned it correctly however I receive inbound calls but not able to make outbound calls. If possible I would like one of you experts to kind of walk me through as I would really appreciate it...This is my first Norstar however I am a little more familiar with the Meridian product....I can be reached at (313) 303-4438 - mobile.....Extremely urgent!! Thanks......AJ

Make sure that you are set up opposite as carrier Ascending or Descending. Just to add I think the 6.0 software had issues with PRI so once you do get it going just keep an eye on it.

Try this!

How to Install a PRI

The DTI card should go into Slot 4 first. If you have a second card it would go into Slot 3.
One PRI code covers both cards.

To enter the software key code

From Terminals & Sets - Next until get to software keys - Show
Sys ID - Next
Password Keys - Show
Key 1: (enter 1st key code)
Key 2: (enter 2nd key code)
Key 3: (enter 3rd key code)

You must disable the card first, program the card for PRI, then re-enable the card.

{need to have either an external CSU or turn the internal one on. If customer needs to use some channels for data then they'll need a CSU/DSU to split off channels before the 0X32. OR to split off data channels after 0X32 they'll need a Nortel Data Interface (NDI) plus bandwidth allocation key codes}

Users cannot access PRI lines directly through line appearances or line pools (except PRI line pools). All outgoing PRI calls are dialed via intercom using routing codes. When a trunk card is changed to PRI, all existing line appearances for that card are automatically removed.
