[cisco-voip] CCM working with Nortel

Wed Jan 7 15:29:19 EST 2009

I expect that my office is going to get some Nortel equipment as well as
keep my current call manager setup so the connection between the two
will be a short in house run.  We will have users on both in this
location.  The Nortel leg here (TN) will be connected to the main Nortel
leg (MD) via some type of long haul connection (IP or P2P).  Sounds like
its going to be good time for everyone.

If you set both ends up as trunks to the other, not one iota.  As far as
the systems know, they're simply routing calls over those trunks, so
once you have both ends up, route away and you're done.  BTW, and Option
81c is the same as the Option 51c we used, just bigger.

No idea at this point.  The Cisco is currently mine and our new sister
company has Nortel.

Our call manager version is 4.2(3).  I believe they have Nortel 81C.

Do different versions of one system care about different versions of the
other?

If your Nortel is licensed for Q.Sig, I would recommend that route.

Ah, the DMS100.   I have not thought about that in a while.  It takes me
back to my previous life as a wireless engineer for Nextel. 

Anyway, thanks.  It sounds like its not going to be a problem.

We did it here a few years ago with a Nortel Option 51c using a PtP PRI
and translation and route patterns on both sides.  We used a 2821, MGCP,
and, IIRC, we had to tell the 2821 it was talking to a DMS100.  Sorry I
don't have more information, it was a while ago and my memory fails me.

We have done it here, which we use MGCP.  This was done 5 years ago and
never have switched to H.323.  Our vendor ISC has done it with H.323
recently.  Maybe Brad could give you some tips?

Hello all

I have been tasked with see what the options are to link some systems
(Cisco Call Manager and Nortel) together so we can dial across each one
to the other for office extensions and such. 

I know this is a broad question, but can it be done ( I think so ) and
what type of stuff is needed to accomplish it.

If anyone has a broad overview that would be great.
