<br><font size=3>what reason does the telco offer for not being able to
deliver a t1/pri to the site? if it's because of physical distance
you're going to have a challenge. the voice quality tends to suffer on
long analog lines with most Cisco analog voice port modules.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>"trunk group of DID's with no CID" sounds like
what we call t1-cas or robbed bit signaling, or a voice trunk. it
gives you 24 channels of voice on a T1. your vwic2-1mft-t1/e1 would
be the proper termination for this.</font>

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><font size=3> <br>

New Remote Office Equipment:</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Cisco 2821-V/K9 with PVDM2-32U48 using a VWIC2-1MFT-T1/E1</font><font size=3>

</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Having an issue with the LEC on getting a T1/PRI into the office.</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
The choices we have been given:</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
1. Backhaul a T1/PRI to a CO thats farther away but the costs just
doubled.</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- I can use the above equipment with this option
but do I have to worry about distance to the CO?</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
2. Analog group of lines (8 POTS lines)</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- 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><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
3. Trunk group of DID's with no CID</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- What hardware module would I need for this option?
This option is being talked about the most because of cost.</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
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><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Any response would be appreciated. This is our first remote office
and its been challenging but loads of fun at the same time. <br>
