Multiple PRI configuration - Two PRI inbound one PRI outbound

Hello all,

 

I am trying to find a configuration guide or something to assist with setting up a new location on Cisco UC as part of their relocation utilizing multiple PRIs. We are in the process of standing up a new office and have gotten stuck on the fact they will be utilizing multiple PRIs for phone service. We have several locations that have single PRIs and they are working fine but this will be our first multi-PRI. Here is what has been ordered for phone service.

 

1- two Foreign Exchange PRIs to handle all inbound and local outbound calls. This is so that we can move existing extensions to a different CO.

2- one LD PRI for all long distance calls.

 

First and biggest question is how do I configure the NIM-4MFT-T1/E1 card to handle multiple PRIs like this. I have two groups the way that I see it. One for the Foreign Exchange PRIs and a second one for the LD PRI. How do I create this setup. It looks like I do not have a group designated for the PRI like I do for data T1s with this card. I do have channels go active when I issue the PRI-group command but am thinking this just adds to a single group.

 

Secondly. There is a spot on the order details form asking about utilizing low to high or high to low which I figure is related to how out bound calls are made. I figure it really does not matter on the single LD PRI but does on the multi-PRI part. I so far have not seen anything in Call Manager to assist with telling calls how to flow for low to high or high to low.

 

I am sure as I begin to go through this I will have more questions but this is a good starting point. Like why do I still receive messages about DSP resources when router reloads even though I have a 256 PVDM on the 4-port T1 card and a 64 PVDM on the mother board. I have learned that the T1 card ONLY uses the PVDM actually on the card when we had the 64 PVDM there and could not even configure all four T1 ports.

 

Thanks in advance ...

 

Brent
