DTI cards have nothing to do with quantity of target lines... software does.

You need 1 per PRI.
I believe you can only have the 2 in a MICS and they have to be in the core.
You'll also need the clocking services card and it
would be wise to get a combo card.
Also the PRI enabler key.
It sounds as though he may be setting up a call center. You will probably have to upgrade the version to 7.1
Or, it may be time to bring him up to a BCM.
More Info. is needed and 1 of the NT Mods. could offer more specific details.

The question should not be how many cards you need. The question should be: How many calls at the same time are going to be needed.

You can have 150 DID numbers but only 15-20 will be in use at the same time: 1 card will do. (one circuit)

You can have 40 DID number and need 38 calls going at one time: you need 2 cards. (2 circuits)

Each T1 card can only handle 23 calls at one time. With XC software you can get 3 T1 cards in the system.

And then like "telemarv" says, the software level determines how many Target lines are available. I don't have those numbers readily handy. Sorry.


If CON is the opposite of PRO
Then what is the opposite of Progress?

Like NTlayoff says, it depends on the traffic as to how many (DTI) cards you will need. You could have a 100 DID numbers and only one DTI card.

Current MICS' max out at 223 DIDs (target lines). From Line 157 to 380. Regardless of how many T-1/PRI circuits are connected.

You can have a total of 3 T-1 cards in the system: 2 in the KSU and 1 in a 12x0 (which renders the other 2 slots in the 12x0 useless) if you use XC software. You need a Services Card in the expansion slot or a 6-port combo card (recommended).

Some one told me once that if you are running 3 T-1s that you shold have 2 combo cards. I never verified this info, though.....could be BS!

Jack, the 2 COMBO Cards are recommended so you will have enough DTMF receivers to handle the inbound calls. So the info was good....have a good Turkey Day everyone
