[cisco-voip] Telco, New PRI Questions

[Truelove_John]

Jeff,

 

Verizon will want to put a number on the PRI for billing / trouble
tickets purposes, it can be any of your current numbers or have them
give you a new number.

 

You will want Verizon to install the PRI and make it activate, if
needed, have them put a test number on the PRI for configuration and
setup in your Gateway/CCM.

After everything is tested and working with your test number or a number
you have that is not in use, 

put in a ticket with Verizon to move the DID/POTS numbers you want over
to that PRI at a time that is convenient for your business.

 

You should have completed a Verizon ISDN PRI Data Gathering form that
you would have listed all the numbers you wanted on the new PRI line.

When I did this in the past, I used a range of DIDs that were not in use
and one of those numbers was assigned to the PRI.

I then put in a ticket after everything was working to ported all other
numbers over to that PRI.

 

HTH

John

Greetings,

 

One of our sites is changing from inbound trunks and DIDs and pots lines
to a PRI and our DIDs.  I got a call from Verizon and they asked me what
number I wanted on the PRI, and usually (They said.) that is the main
number of the business.  Well the main number out there is one of our
DIDs, and that can't be assigned to the PRI.

 

I don't care what number they put on the PRI, do I?  Is this right:  On
telco's side, they point our DIDs to whatever number is assigned to the
PRI, then Gateway\CCM et all route incoming calls from the PRI according
to the DID that the caller dialed.  So Verizon can assign any number
they want, right?

 

Thanks

jeff
