Meridian 1 and VWIC2-2BRI integration

A few years ago I had tested integration between Nortel Meridian 1 PBX and Cisco CallManager 3.1 using router with voice card.

I found my notes from that implementation, as I remember discovery of that solution was pretty difficult.

1. Config on Cisco GW using H.323 was pretty standard so I skip that detail.

2. Meridian 1 PBX requires specific card – in that case it was 8 ISDN ports card – SILC NT6D70.

3. Another step it’s to configure Meridian 1 under LD27 as below:


REQ NEW
TYPE DSL
DSL 8 0 1 0
APPL BRIL
DES BRI
CUST 0
MODE NTFS
B1CT VCE DTA
B2CT VCE DTA
LDN NO
XLST 2
MTEI 8
MCAL 16
MTSP 8
LAPD 2
PRID 2
PDCA 3
FDN
EFD
HUNT
EHT
TGAR 0
NCOS 7
SCPW
SGRP 0
CAC_MFC 3
CLS UNR ICDD CDMD MRD UDI ABDD PGND

REQ NEW
TYPE TSP
DSL 8 0 1 0
USID 0
SUPL_SVC
DN 3992
CT VCE DTA
MCAL 4
CLIP YES
PRES YES
COLP NO
TRANS NO
FEAT HTD FND SFD CFTD MWD FBD HBTD CFXD DN03 DNDY
SSRV_ETSI
DN
DFDN 3992

4. At this moment ip phones should be reachable under e.x. 3992 extension. If needed change IDC as I remember under LD49.

5. Another step is to bind SILC ports to one trunk and attach to trunk (LD15, LD16) with a range of extensions 10 or 100.

Nortel Merdian 1 is almost an antique, but from time perspective comparing to other vendors PBX this one is outstanding, so it still may be helpful to use a solution as above.
