Breaking out T1 for Data

[bryandj23]

Hi All. This is in regards to my previous thread,
thread689-1332292

I'm attempting to split off Channels 6-23 to be used for Data across our p-t-p T1 between two magix. In the previous post, it was determined that I would need to assign these channels to the Data Port 1, while removing them from B-Channel Group 80.

In SPM, under B-Channel Groups -> B-Channels -> 80 -> Inspect, I have 0501-0523. Is this where I need to remove channels? Reason I ask is that I'm familiar with the channels being numbered 8121-8143, which I can find under B-Channel Groups -> B-Channels -> 80 -> Lines -> Entry -> Inspect.

I've tried assigning the channels to the data port, through:
Lines & Trunks -> CSU/DSU -> (slot)5 -> Data Port -> 1 -> Channel, but when I go back and inspect, they're still listed as "S" rather than "R".

Am I getting myself deeper than I think? My technical mind seems to think this shouldn't be (way) out of my league. I do understand the fundamentals...

a. remove channels from voice
b. add channels to data port
c. move on to (re)configure routers.

Any help or tidbits would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

Yes - you would need a CSU/DSU to split off the data from voice channels (it would be done via programming on the CSU/DSU) - before hitting your phone system. Now - that is assuming that the phone company's T1 service is configured to accomodate both voice and data - it may not be - meaning you are ONLY getting voice channels to your system

I think, from the original post, they have a 100DSU-CSU Module.

Therefore, the question involves splitting out the T1 going into that module to provide data from certain channels to an Ethernet connection.

The correct procedure would be to:

FIRST, remove the LINES from what ever pool they are assigned to.

SECOND, remove the LINES from the B CHANNEL Group.

and THIRD, remove the B channels from that group themselves.

As described above, the LINES to be removed should be, 8126 to 8143, and the b channels, as stated above were 6 to 23.

That should do it.

Merlinman...

Thanks for refreshing my memory. I forgotten that these lines are assigned to a pool.

You are correct in that we have the 100DCD board in our magix.

I will give this a try as soon as I get in.

Just wanted to say thanks to Merlinman as well as the others who've helped me with this; now and in the past.

The data is broken off from the voice, and my two Cisco 1721's are talking across the pipe. Time to move to the network side now.

Thanks again guys!
