Somewhat related question:
While we get both ANI and DNIS info on our PRI's just fine, we're about to order channelized T1 for the first time. (We have to, because PRI won't be available until May 2000 in that city, and Bellsouth's "extended reach PRI" is not at all cost effective for this. Bleah.)
Am I going to have problems doing both ANI and DNIS at the same time on a (trunk side) channelized T1?
No, but you have to order the line this way, most of the RBOCs call this Feature Group D. But since we're in a SS7 world getting the LEC to tone down to you can be tricky since many switches are not ordered with tone generators these days.
FGD is 'equal access' inter CO trunking. 'Channelized' T1 is simply that. Thus, they are different and different rules apply. Bell can opt to send or not send ANI as they see fit (depending on their tariff in the relevant state), but they will certainly send DNIS. If you have the option, definately request both, and request both to be 10 digits.
Any other potential gotchas for someone used to PRI? :) Aside from ordering it with the right parameters (E&M type 2, wink start, wink ack, probably will try to get B8ZS instead of AMI...)
work. I'd definitely ask for B8ZS and ESF, since most of their network probably runs that way to begin with.
