Switching PRI carrier

[petebardak55]

I have a simple question.  I'm runing Cisco UCM 7.0.2 appliance, Cisco 3845 for my voice gateway, MGCP is the protocol.   I have a single PRI connected to my voice gateway router and I'm basically migrating all DN's from the old carrier to a new carrier.  My new provider is handling all the DN and making sure the PRI is configured the same as my existing one that I'm canceling.  They said all I need to do is plug in their PRI to the voice gateway.  Is there anything else I need to do from a configuration stand point?  I'm thing NO but I'd though I post this just to be sure.    

Thank in advance for anyone that responds.

Hi Pete,

We went through this process at one point and it actually worked as advertised     

Our new provider had taken a considerable amount of time in planning and reviewing

our current DID mapping etc. and the total outage was no more than 1 hour. If they

are using the same protocols, signaling etc. you should be good to go.

It's always good to remember that for a MGCP gateway that no mgcp/mgcp is your best friend.

Just in case (older doc but still quite applicable );
