Are these two machines directly connected or do you go through the PSTN to connect them?

If it goes out to the public network, you need to be concerned with the protocol on the "add ds1 <board number>" page. If it is a direct connect you can leave it at the default protocol which is NI1. Also, if it goes to the public network I would make it an ISDN T1 because that will give you a better connection.

If it is a direct connection you will need to roll the send and receive pairs and if the R6 Definity gives you a "lineside" option on the "add ds1 <board number>" page choose that, I do not remember if that option is available on an R6 because I have not worked on one in years. If you do not have lineside then stay with ISDN. The trunk group type should be tie.

Hi Marty
This one has reared its head again.
The connections are direct fibes between the Definity and the Mitel, I will be using the existing internal routing in the Mitel to route to the existing out/in connections, I have been told that I will need a DPNSS2 card alongsde the DS1 card using QSIG?
Any ideas?
Cheers
John

A release 6 Definity has no idea what QSIG is. Perhaps the DPNSS2 card is to help in that regard but I am not familiar with that card. Is this a card that plugs into a slot in the Definity or is this an external device? My Avaya documentation does not mention such a card.

Who is telling you that you need a DPNSS2 card? That would be the person you would need to contact for support.

Hi Marty
The card fits into slot next to the Ds1 card see attached docs, the docs do say v7 onwards but the supplier of the card say that it will work on v6

The doc is pretty clear on what to do, your DS1 and trunk group programming is at the bottom of page 6. So I guess the main question is, is the QSIG supplementary software loaded? If it is not already loaded, getting it turned on will be a big problem for you.

Avaya will not touch a release 6 Definity. An Avaya Business Partner might be able to help.

I found the QSIG option you need on a release 9 that I have access to. It is one of the "green" features that are invisible to a customer. A craft or dadmin login can see them by typing "display sys special" however neither login can turn them on.
