Hi P,

I am not back at site until Monday and will let you know what IOS I am runnig.

I get what you are saying about the bulk speed dial, however is there a way that the user can pick up the phone and just dial the 4 digit extension with CME appending the full e.164 number?

Thanks

Rod

Well, that is what a bulk speed-dial is for, you can use other means (personal speed-dial, translation rules) but are less scalable and convoluted.

Hi P.

I am still having the same problems at this site. I have 2 isdn bri circuits with 10 DDI numbers - when I enable the isdn static tei 0 on the second bri interface i get an engaged tone when dialing the site - the only way I can fix the problem is by removing the ISDN static tei 0 from my configuration from interface bri0/1/1

below is the output from the Q931 debug.

One more question - what exactly does the isdn static tei 0 do to the interface? and do i need it for the bri interfaces to trunk calls?

Thanks

Rod

Hi, as I told you in another message, you are receiving the same message on both interfaces, that is not normal, both circuit and router must be checked.

Hi P.

After more investigation I have found the BT have configured my circuit with 1 physical port with the 4 channels - thats why I was getting the issue of the two interfaces coming up when making or receiving calls.

I have unplugged the cable from int bri0/1/1 and only have bri0/1/0 active. The problem is that I can only have 2 calls active at any time and not the 4 I would expect - do I need to configure my bri port differntly to whats listed below:

interface BRI0/1/0

no ip address

isdn switch-type basic-net3

isdn point-to-point-setup

isdn incoming-voice voice

isdn static-tei 0

trunk-group BRI

trunk group BRI

translation-profile outgoing DNIS

voice translation-rule 10

rule 1 // /01946/

voice translation-profile DNIS

translate calling 10

As replied in another thread - BRI cannot have 4 channels, you can cross-check any source you want about that.
