3300 as a CO

[MJJONES]

I have a spare Mitel 3300 in my lab. I want to hook it up and use it as a CO so I can hook other systems to it via a T1 line from the 3300. I basically want to turn my 3300 into a T1 simulator. Does anyone know if this possible. Can anyone point me into the right direction on how I would do this.

It is possible, you will need to set up the links between the two controllers (PRI, T1, whatever you want) and depending on what you want the system to do the programming could vary greatly after that.

I'm trying to connect the Mitel 3300 to a Mitel 5000. I have them linked together and i get a green synch light on both ends. I have a route programmed into the 3300 but when i place the call i get dead silence. I dont really know what im doing at this point...any specific settings you could think of that I might need to try?

My link Descriptor Looks like this:

What are you doing to the call inside the 3300? Is it being answered by something? Routed back to the 5000?

[MJJONES]

I set up a single ARS rule that has directs the call to go out over the T1 trunk i programmed that is attached to the 5000. On the 5000 I have an inbound route that is set to ring an internal extension when this number comes accross the link.

Both the 3300 and the 5000 are set to use NI2. Should one or both be set to use a different protocal?

[bluewhite4]

Do you have a flashing green, or solid green?

When we had to do this between a 3300 and an older Nortel, I remember we couldn't use NI2 because neither system could be the "Network" side of the d-channel. Had to use DMS-250.

[MJJONES]

I have sold green links on each end. This is how I have ISDN configured.

Controller Module   1   
Port   1   
Link Number   1   
Interface Type   T1   
Protocol   NI2   
Protocol Variant   Bellcore   
Network side/Q.SIG Master   True   
Enbloc   False   
Enable Unknown TON/NP   False   
Enable NI2 Service Messages   False   
Send NI2 Outgoing Name   False   
Replace External CLID   False   
 
Q.SIG Only
  Fake Answer Supervision   True   
  Enable Prefix Insertion   True

That all looks good. When you place the call, it seems to connect, but you can't get audio over it?

[MJJONES]

From the 3300 point of view I dial the number and it just sits there and times out about a minute later. You dont hear any ringing though and the endpoints on the 5000 dont ring at all.

In the trunk attributes table in the 3300 set your digits to absorb to 0 dont leave it blank

[MJJONES]

Wouldn't changing that only affect calls coming into the 3300? I'm trying to make calls out of the 3300 to the 5000. My trunk attributes are below.


Trunk Service Number   2
Release Link Trunk   No
Call Recognition Service   Off
Class of Service   1
Class of Restriction   1
Baud Rate   300
Intercept Number   1
Non-dial In Trunks Answer Point - Day   
Non-dial In Trunks Answer Point - Night 1   
Non-dial In Trunks Answer Point - Night 2   
Dial In Trunks Incoming Digit Modification - Absorb   0
Dial In Trunks Incoming Digit Modification - Insert   0

[v2win]

Make the insert 0 blank and leave the absorb at 0

[MJJONES]

Made the changes and I'm in the same boat.

[v2win]

So lets look at your 3300 programming post the following

ARS string you are dialing
Route you are going out
Digit Mod you are using

also

From maintenance
type ccs tr en co
make a call
type ccs tr dis

logs re sm new 10

I got this figured out. Everything was perfect on the Mitel 3300 side but i had a configuration error in the routing tables on the 5000 side. I never worked on a 5000 before this project....Noob error :-)

Thanks to everything that tried to help.
