Hello All, I am getting my first PRI installed in a couple of weeks and I wanted to ask for a little advice. I have a single span Digium card I will be using for the install. Id there a benefit to which protocol I use? When asked, I told them to set it up as NI2. The PRI is through MCI and will be used for local and long distance with DIDs and features like CallerID, etc. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

They let you chose your protocol? Nice guys, I've never been asked - just told. I don't know any major advantages between the different signalling formats, though, I don't think there really are any major differences. I've had no problems with ni1 and ni2 with Asterisk. -- Tom Hayden Astoria Telecom, LLC www.astoriatelecom.net On 8/9/05, Wiley Siler <wsiler@education2020.com> wrote:> > > Hello All, > > I am getting my first PRI installed in a couple of weeks and I wanted to ask > for a little advice.

These are my first 2 PRIs so I can't really tell you which switchtype is best. All I can tell you is by now, I'm sure that provisioning has already set things in stone as far as the configuration. Didn't you get a provisoning call? I ordered mine a week or two after you did and I've already gotten calls to verify provisioning information a long time ago. Keep Jana in mind if you need any other quotes. She's a real nice lady. I have a couple other agents I work with. I ended up going with them since one of them had the more up-to-date information sooner and the other ended up giving me a great deal (only because I cancelled one order with them). My quote from Jana for MCI was horrible, but through another agent (and going through a reseller) it was somewhat tolerable. Would you mind telling me what you got through MCI? Was it a quote directly from a MCI rep? Hope it goes well for you! Thanks, Kevin Bockman
Excellent info everyone. Thank you!!

It will deliver calling name. NI1 will only deliver calling number. Also most COs will support NI2 with no tweaks much better than NI1 or any of the others. NI1 was created to solve configuration issues between systems. did a pretty good job. But as new features were added and more knowledge gained NI2 came into being.
