Sounds Ok , this is a great place to get help . I am not sure about 64 pin cables to a RJ PATCH Panel ?

The 64 pin amp to rj48 patch panel is in the accesories page of the adtran web page. This seems to be the simplest solution for and end user.

Ordering the SS7 signaling is okay if your switch is an SSP (signalling point). If memory serves me correctly, you need to be able to accept an A-link if connecting to an STP and if connecting to another SSP it would be an F-link. These are typicall 56k circuits that will need to break out of a channel bank, usually on v.35 connectors.

dexman, I worked on the dex 400, 600, and 600e for several years, several years ago. I don't run in to too many people that have ever even heard of those switch's.

Does any of these company's sound familiar: Allnet, Frontier, GC?

Hi again SST,

You got me! I stated out at Allnet in 1990, went through the mergers with Frontier and Global Crossing. Survived 2 rounds of layoffs so I guess they like me here.

Hi Jason,

The T1 configuration is separate from the DS3 configuration. You can order a Muxed DS3 and request the T1s be optioned as ESF/B8ZS or D4/AMI.
The company you order the circuit from should be able to configure the T1s either way.

With SS7, you will need to obtain a DPC and order service from a provider.

dexman, I worked with WCT in L.A. when the Allnet Frontier merger happened. Switch 16, we added the dms500 for local, and then built Anaheim with two 600e's and another dms500. We divided out techs in to maintenance and install. I was the install OTL. I got whacked in round 4. I still drop in to the switches every once and while to say Hi to Manny, Edwin and the rest of the crew. I worked with another small carrier for a short time but the carrier life is too demanding. So, I decided to go work back in the station world.

Hey SST,

Edwin & Manny are now working out of Anaheim.

I gave Edwin a call and he said, yeah, that's Stuart. He said that you probably remember me (Paul in Boston)?

I said "hi" to Edwin for ya. He might be calling you!

Yea, I remember Paul in Boston. :toast: It's a small world, huh. I'm not sure if we ever crossed tracks in any training, though. I kinda' miss those days but not the hours or pressure. :bang: Working 24/7 then laid-off because of poor executive management! :scratch:

Dex/Sst,

What is a DCP? The service provider is able to send D4 AMI so you guys are right on! Also, what kind of service will I need to order and what apporximately is the cost? SO far, using the DS3 might not be saving me any money. Thanks again for all of your help!

Yup. It is a small world.

There hasn't been a whole lot of pressure here at the Boston switch. Even oncall duty has become more relaxed.

Hope you're doing well in the CPE sector. :thumb:

It can be just a competitive as it is on the supply side.
