conferencing work. I also know to configure the CFB at the remote sites as
well. My general question is would it be better to consolidate all of the TDM
interfaces in one gateway and all of the additional DSP functions in another or
split them up or consolidate everything in a single 3845 with a shelf spare
chassie if needed. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

will need the transcoding resources at the UCCx site. That is where all
the transcoding will be done. As for Conference resources, where ever it
will be used. I'm guessing split. some at each site.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I am doing a
redesign of an existing voice network. We currently have two 3845’s. One
3845 has three MFT-2 port PRI’s. Four of the PRI’s are used for inbound and
outbound calls. One port on the third MFT is used as a TIE line between a
Nortel box. We also have the other 3845 with two MFT-2 ports. Four of those
PRI’s are used for inbound and outbound calling. The TDM gateways are separated
like this for business / political purposes which I can get around if I need to
and consolidate all of the TDM cards into one 3845 by purchasing some Network
Modules. The other design problem is they are currently sending a substantial
number of calls over the WAN to the central UCCX servers as G.711. This is
causing some network congestion problems at their remote facilities. At any
given time I would estimate about 60 concurrent calls coming in as G.711 over
the wan to UCCX. I now want to change the codec to G.729 over the WAN so I need
to add some transcoding resources. They also have their conference bridges
setup to use Call Manager as G.711 so I want to move those conference into the
router as well. I know how to do all this and the configuration is not a
problem, I am more concerned with what would be the best use of the routers.
Should I leave the TDM interfaces split like this. Purchase two fully populated
NM-HDV2 with four PVDM2-64. Place one NM module in each router and split the
CFB’s / Transocding. Should I consolidate the TDM interfaces in one
router and configure the other router with two NM’s to only do the CFB and
Transcoding? Or should I try to consolidate everything and place all 9 PRI’s
and the extra NM’s for CFB and transcoding in one router. I have the extra
physical routers so I think I should use them. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
