WIC-1AM with immediate PSTN trunking?

[stu_syn]

Hi All,

I'm trying to configure 2 x 1700 routers with WIC-1AMs which will dial-up to one another.

The strange thing is the customer has an EPS25B (UK) circuit which I understand immediately trunks the call point-to-point without any numbers being dialled?

Any idea how i could configure this within the 1700 -

Thanks,

Stuart

Hello,

since those private services lines are leased for a fixed tariff, regardless of how much they're used, I guess you wouldn´t mind if the two routers are connected all the time. So the ´standard´ configuration for the WIC-1AM would do, I would think. Check out this link for configuration options and examples of this analog card:

Thanks Georg,

I'm a little confused as to what numbers to put in for the dial-string, after all anything would do.

May i possibly attach the config for your advice if i end up with any issues?

Cheers,

Stu
