2-way DID
With PRI the same lines can be used for receiving direct inward dialing (DID) and for making
direct outward dialing (DOD) calls.
The dialing plan configured by your customer service representative determines how calls are
routed. Consult your customer service representative to determine whether or not this feature is
compatible with your service provider.
Dialing plan and PRI
The Dialing Plan supports PRI connectivity to public and private networks. The dialing plan is a
collection of features responsible for processing and routing incoming and outgoing calls. All PRI
calls must go through a dialing plan.
Notes about the dialing plan:
• allows incoming calls to be routed to sets based on service type and digits received
• provides the ability to map user-dialed digits to a service type on a Call by Call basis
• allows long distance carrier selection through user-dialed Carrier Access Codes
Consult your customer service representative to determine how your dialing plan is configured.
ISDN hardware
To support connections to an ISDN network and ISDN terminal equipment, your BCM must be
equipped with a BRI S/T Media Bay Module (BRIM) or a Digital Trunk Media Bay Module
(DTM) card configured for PRI.
The following describes the hardware:
• “PRI hardware”
• “BRI hardware”
PRI hardware
The Digital Trunk Media Bay Module (DTM) is configured for PRI. In most PRI network
configurations, you need one DTM configured as PRI to act as the primary clock reference. The
only time when you may not have a DTM designated as the PRI primary clock reference is in a
network where your BCM system is connected back-to-back with another switch using a PRI link.
If the other switch is loop-timed to your BCM system, your DTM (PRI) can be designated as a
timing master.
If your BCM has more than one DTM configured as PRI, you must assign the first DTM as the
primary reference, the second DTM as the secondary reference.
If the system has a BRI module, it should be set as the timing master when a DTM in the same
network is defined as the primary reference.
