[asterisk-users] AT&T PRI Install - What is outpulsed?
Hey All, AT&T is installing a PRI in a couple weeks and while I've been doing homework on PRI's for the last few weeks there's something I'm still confused about. After being asked how many digits I wanted them to send us (10) was how many digits will you outpulse to us, 4, 7 or 10? I asked her what that meant and all I got was the question repeated. Do any of you have any idea what she was referring to? Is this ANI? Outgoing Caller ID? Something else? While I've done many POTS line setups, this is my first PRI install, so I'd also welcome any "make sure you do this", "read this first" or "AT&T always messes this up so..." tips. Thanks -Dave

This is the outgoing callerid. If you have 1200 DIDs in a range, you probably only need to outpulse 4 digits (they already know the first six). If you want to be able to make your callerid anything that may or may not be one of your DIDs, you probably want 7 or 10. I pick 10 no matter what for the flexibility. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Dave Fullerton Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 10:06 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] AT&T PRI Install - What is outpulsed?

I believe she is refering to how she's going to send you your incoming calls (on your DIDs) for example: 10 digits: 972-453-2345 7 digits: 453-2345 4 digits: 2345 so you know how to expect your incoming calls and configure your extensions.conf accordingly.

Most providers that I've delt with will take 7 for local or 10 for Long Distance. Some may require one or the other. You can do that easily in the dial plan. If the end user dials a 7 digit, assume to be local and tack on your local area code before the dial.
