<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've been getting conflicting answers
to hardware needed for a new remote site we are setting up. I blame
myself more due to the fact that I'm still very green at this stuff and
my inability to ask the question intelligently enough. I wanted to
throw this at the trusty cisco-voip group of peeps.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">New Remote Office Equipment:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Cisco 2821-V/K9 with PVDM2-32U48 using
a VWIC2-1MFT-T1/E1</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Having an issue with the LEC on getting
a T1/PRI into the office.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The choices we have been given:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. Backhaul a T1/PRI to a CO thats
farther away but the costs just doubled.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> - I can use
the above equipment with this option but do I have to worry about distance
to the CO?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. Analog group of lines (8 POTS
lines)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> - With this
option, my Multi-Flex T1 card is useless. Will the EVM-HD-8FS/DID
module do the trick for me? Can I use the DID ports on this module
or do I need to add the </font><font size=1 face="Arial">EM-HDA-6FXO module?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3. Trunk group of DID's with no
CID</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> - What hardware
module would I need for this option? This option is being talked
about the most because of cost.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've got a Call Manager Cluster at the
home office with this site using SRST if the wan link goes away. I'm
running CM 4.1(3)sr1.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Any response would be appreciated.
This is our first remote office and its been challenging but loads of fun
at the same time. </font>
