[cisco-voip] Best Test for New PRIs?

Wed May 20 10:09:05 EDT 2009

Thanks.  We will have a 3825 router in place and hope to test on "turn
up" day.  We will also have POTS lines available to us that we can use
for the FXO ports.

Testing through FXO ports could mean a number of different things...if
you want to test calling your PRI circuits through your FXO ports, that
might work...

It sounds like these PRI circuits are at another facility where you
don't have ready access to setup a router and switch to them yet. Also
PRI circuits aren't usually hot unless you ask TelCo to make them so.
Your best test method will be with a console connection to the
PRI-connected router on your lap, and a phone jammed betwixt your
shoulder and head connected to TelCo requesting them to make the circuit
hot for you to make test calls to your mobile phone or any other test
handset you have available.

Thanks for the suggestion.  We won't have any connectivity between
offices. 

Will testing through FXO ports tell us anything about how the circuits
will work with Call Manager?

Does this gateway have network connectivity to the existing call
manager?  You could set it up in the CUCM before moving the servers
and test calls in/out that way. Set up the gateway and a test
partition, route patterns, CSSs and assign the test CSS to 1 or 2
phones.

If not, do like others have suggested previously in the discussion. If
you have a FXS port on the gateway you could test with a POTS phone
off the FXS port and dial peers.
