<div>Matt - you're spot on.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If there are multiple DID's being delivered via POTS lines, the carrier is likely sending them as DID trunks, not traditional analog lines. The proper P/N for terminating these is going to be the VIC2-FXS/DID.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My *guess* is that the carrier probably has a single trunk group (15 DID's) arriving on the BRI and the other 3 trunk groups split across the 13 POTS lines.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I do agree with the other matthew (wow...lots of us in this thread) that in most metro markets the breakeven point for PRI vs. POTS service is between 6-10 POTS lines - I'd highly suggest that if time allows you investigate migrating to a PRI instead of DID trunks. If not, then you'll need the VIC2-4FXS/DID cards if these are indeed DID trunks.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of you may remember me. My employer has put me in charge of installing Cisco VoIP solutions for various offices around the state. I’ve installed 4 of them so far, roughly with 40-50 users at each office. I’ve been getting real comfortable with installing them but all those offices utilized a PRI. So configuration of the system was fairly simple and if all was set up correctly, you could just unplug the PRI from the old phone system and plug it into the Cisco router and everything works just fine.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For my next office, things are somewhat different and I’m not sure how to approach it. I was told that the next office does not have a PRI. I’m not 100% fluent in telephony, but their current Nortel system utilizes 13 POTS lines, 1 BRI, and 4 trunk groups. There are 15 DID numbers each trunk group for a total of 60 DID numbers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the new router, (which is a C2821), I went ahead and requested 4 VIC2-4FXO cards. Are these the right cards to get? I didn’t get the BRI card because I’m going to see if the phone company can convert the BRI to POTS lines to save some money. So that should give me a total of 15 POTS lines to plug into my router. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The DID numbers span from 9421 through 9480. However, on the information sheet, there are other numbers as well (which I’m assuming are the actual POTS lines’ numbers). These numbers are all over the place, such as 1101, 1103, 1119, 2562, 4400, etc. When I dial them, they are picked up by the Nortel automated system as if I were dialing the direct line specified in the DID number range. So my question is, when I program the CME/CUE, do I just configure ephone-dn according to the DID numbers and leave out those other numbers? I’m just wondering if the Telco forwards all these “other numbers” to that DID’s “direct line”. I know for the Autoattendent, you just use 1 number.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this the right way I should be going about this?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any help and sorry for the long e-mail.</p>
