T1/PRI and E1/PRI Programming
You can also configure T1/E1 PRI networking using the Networking Wizard. The section here
describes each portion of the networking in DB Programming. For programming information
discussed here, refer to the Inter-Tel 5000 Features and Programming Guide (part no:
580.8006).
A port on the T1M or T1M-2 module can be configured for T1/PRI or E1/PRI networking. The
T1/PRI and E1/PRI programming has a field called “ISDN Switch Type” (this field is not present
in a module configured for T1 programming). The ISDN switch types provided for networking
are Private Networking and IP Private Networking. To program a port on the T1M or T1M-2
module for networking, use the ISDN Switch Type list box to select Private Networking or IP
Private Networking.
When the port is programmed for T1/PRI or E1/PRI networking (Private Network switch type),
the system automatically creates a node trunk group. (All B-Channels residing on the same port
are in the same node trunk group.) The system allows up to 3 node trunk groups per node (one
for each T1/PRI or E1/PRI configuration).
The procedure below needs to be completed on each node networking to the other. For
example, you want to network node 1 to node 2. Indicated steps in this procedure need to be
completed on node 1 and on node 2. Also, all extensions on each node, networked to the other,
must be different. This procedure affects call processing. Do not perform this procedure during
normal business hours).
To configure T1/PRI or E1/PRI networking using DB Programming:
1. Create the remote node. The remote node is the node to which you want to network.
a. Navigate to the System/Devices and Feature Codes/Nodes folder.
b. Select Create Remote Node from the shortcut menu.
c. Provide a starting extension and number of extensions. Set the starting extension to
the actual node number to which you are networking. For example, if the target node
number is 2, enter 97002 as the starting extension. Click OK.
d. Restart the DB Programming session when prompted.
e. Change the node number, if necessary to the actual node to which you are
networking. If necessary, provide a Description (for example, Connection to node 2)
that adequately reflects this networking setup.
f. From the target node, repeat step 1.
