A few years ago I started getting interested in telephony, and one of my first big projects was to build up my own Meridian digital PBX board by board for hobby use. It has been a lot of fun and very interesting but there was definitely a learning curve to it. I decided to put this page together to both document what I have done so that I dont forget, and to provide perhaps a more structured introduction to the Meridian for the telephony hobbyist with no prior experience. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The model rangeThe Nortel Meridian range has been around for a while and is fairly comprehensive. Meridian systems range from little single cabinet switches with a few as 20 or 30 lines, all the way up to room sized switches with thousands of lines. The smallest member of the meridian range is the Option 11 line. It runs on a few amps of ordinary 120 VAC and weighs less than a hundred pounds fully loaded. These attributes make it perfectly suited for residential use. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There are a few different vintages of the Option 11. The original Option 11 systems used an NTAK01 processor card which seems to have a Zilog Z180 processor as the system CPU. It is very slow and runs fairly old software revisions. The original Option 11 systems were followed by the Option 11e system, which came equipped with a refreshed NTBK45 processor card. Here, the system CPU was updated to a Motorola 68020. The performance of the Option 11e processor is reasonable and these make fine systems for hobby use. The final iteration of the Option 11 line was the Option 11c, which again offered a refreshed processor card, the NTDK20. NTDK20 cards use the Motorola 68040 processor. More modern vintages of the NTDK20 remain the processor card for new Option 11 systems shipping from Nortel today but the older vintages of this card are starting to appear on the gray market at very attractive prices for the hobbyist. Pretty much everything I will discuss on this site is applicable to all Option 11 processor cards except where otherwise noted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You could very well get lucky and find a complete Option 11 system for sale at a fair price, perhaps two or three hundred dollars depending on configuration. The price is especially fair if the seller happens to know what the administrator password is. I built my system up from boards, however, and I will spend a lot of time discussing them. I think it was more fun building it up piecewise, and there is definitely the potential for cost savings over buying a complete system. Perhaps most importantly, you can learn a lot about the internals of the system building it up from boards than you might otherwise. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
From the ground up, an Option 11 system consists of the following components:
The table below sums up the most common and useful parts for the Option 11. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When buying secondhand gear, you really have to remember that the Meridian line has been around forever, and that a lot of stuff from older or larger models is not cross compatible with the smaller systems. Any part numbers starting with QPC are from older and larger switches and will not work in the Option 11. CP series call processors with the impressive CPU specs are for larger switches and will not work in the Option 11 context. They boot from hard disks that we do not have, loaded with software that we probably cannot get. The Option 11 systems, in contrast, load their operating system from a ROM cartridge and save data on flash memory. You will do just fine if you stick to the boards in the table above. stray from that and I make no promises about it working. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Another important thing to keep in mind when buying secondhand Option 11 gear is that the system controllers have critical ancillary parts that must be included for it to work. Option 11 and Option 11e system controllers must have a software cartridge fitted to run. They will not work without the software cartridge. Option 11c system controllers must have a RAM SIMM, a software daughterboard, and a software security dongle mounted. If the controller is missing any of these items, it will not work. Having a photo of the system controller up front before buying is critical to make sure everything you need is still there. I would not recommend buying system controllers unseen unless the seller confirms that everything is there. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
So in sum, if you want to set up your own Option 11 system, all you need to get is at least one complete NTAK11 chassis or equivalent with power supply and all backplanes installed. Add a system controller card, at least one line card, and at least one trunk card, and you will be all set. In the case of the straight NTAK01 option 11 processor, there is no tone and digit switch capability integrated into the processor card so you must have an NTAK03 card installed to provide these services. The NTBK45 option 11e processor and the NTDK20 option 11c processor both have integrated tone and digit switch, so there is no need to install an NTAK03 card unless you need extra capacity. All three of the processor cards include three serial ports for the system console and any auxiliary functions that may be required such as a CDR log or maintenance dial up modem. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Looking at the system controller, you should see one button marked MAN INT and a block of DIP switches. The button is basically an interrupt switch, and the switch block sets the console baud rate. I leave it set at 9600. As far as the rest of the communication parameters go, the Nortel defaults to 8N1. If you have a NTDK20 processor you will also see a a few PCMCIA slots. These are used in the initial installation of the PBX, and can also be used to provide a secondary backup media for the PBX configuration database. To connect the console terminal, look to the connector panel under the card cage. You should see two 9 pin D shell connectors, sort of lined up vertically under the system controller card slot. Connect your console cable to the uppermost 9 pin port, closest to the card cage. You might need to use a null modem adapter to make it work. Pretty much any terminal emulation will work; the administration interface is not screen oriented. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I should probably mention the console serial cable itself since it is a little special. As I mention above, the system controller card actually has three serial ports built into it. All three of them come out on the uppermost 9 pin port under the system controller. If you hook up a regular serial cable, you will just get the console on port 0. This is of course vital and easy enough to get to with a plain old serial cable, but if you want to get to the other two serial ports, say to use as maintenance TTYs or a CDR log, you need a special cable with part number NTBK48AA. This tends unfortunately to be a rather expensive cable. You can find some pinouts for this cable on the internet but they dont seem to really work. I finally just gave up and purchased one though i havent bothered to pin it out and check it against what the pinout is purported to be. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Also, while discussing the connector panel, i do want to mention explicitly that each connector on the connector panel corresponds to the card in the slot immediately above it in the card cage. You can use the technical reference manual or various card specific datasheets to determine the pinouts of the RJ21 Centronics style connectors when various cards are plugged into the slots above them. For the system controller they make it nice and easy for us by providing the serial ports already pinned to a D shell, but other cards need to be broken out to punchdown blocks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cabling the Meridian |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cabling up cards in the Meridian to a 66 block can be a little confusing to the first timer so I want to touch briefly on it here. Basically for each card, you connect the cable via 50 pin Centronics to the port under its slot in the Meridian. On the other end of the cable is just wires, which you will punch down on a 66 block according to the RJ21 color code standard, described in the table below. You could use a 110 block instead but I prefer the 66 block so that will be my focus here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Looking at the 66 block mounted vertically, number the block starting at the top with the uppermost row as 1, going down, with the bottom most row being numbered 50. Punch down the requisite color of wire at the requisite 66 block position. The Nortel pin numbers reference the pin number of the Centronics connector that is plugged in to the Meridian. It is important to note that when we read a Nortel manual that discusses the pinout of a card, it will give us a pin number that we call the Nortel pin number in the above table. When we want to actually cable something up, we need to translate from the Nortel pin number to the 66 block number using the table. The 66 block number identifies the pins that we actually need to cable from the block to the jack or RJ48/RJ45/RJ11 connector end. Don't make the mistake of taking the pin numbers Nortel gives you to be pins on the 66 block itself or else all your cabling will be off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There is actually a method to the madness here and it is that for the simplest cases of an analog or digital line card, you have the case where Nortel pins 1 and 26 are tip and ring of line 1, Nortel pins 2 and 27 are tip and ring of line 2, Nortel pins 3 and 28 are tip and ring of line 3, and so forth. The cabling scheme on the 66 block means that Nortel pins 1 and 26 become 66 block pins 1 and 2, Nortel pins 2 and 27 become 66 block pins 3 and 4, and so on. Thus, the tip and ring of each line ends up on adjacent pins on the 66 block. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Powering up the system |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Once everything is cabled up, plug in the PBX and hit the nice big circuit breaker style power switch. If all goes well, you should see something like the following, at least on an Option 11 or Option 11e system. |

We can split up the startup messages into a few distinct categories. The first category is just nonsensical spew from the boot loader. That would roughly be everything above the angle bracket. Following that we have the system bus probe. We can read this and see what cards the switch is detecting, which gives a little reassurance that a given card is at least nominally working. From looking at the output of the Option 11e startup, for example, you can see that I have a multifrequency receiver in slot 1, DTI/PRI cards in slots 2 and 4, an E&M trunk card in slot 4, digital line cards in slots 5 and 7, and analog line cards in slots 6 and 8. Note that there are some cards such as the NTAK02 and NTAK03 that will not show up in the bus probe. You just have to know that they are there. For example, I have a NTAK02 card in slot 10, but you couldn't tell just from looking at the bus probe. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nonetheless, it is good to take note of the XMI002 messages for two reasons. One, they give at least nominal assurance that the card is working and two, you need to know the slot numbers for programming the switch so anything that gives you information about what card is in which slot is certainly helpful in this regard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After the bus probe, the switch runs a startup script (DROL) and performs other initialization tasks such as bringing up the D-channels for PRI trunks. Wait a while and let the startup script complete. Hit RETURN on the console and you should be presented with the system banner. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
OVL111 000 IDLE TTY 00 SCH MTC BUG 0:10 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The OVL111 000 IDLE lets us know that the switch is currently idle and ready for us to log in. If we see anything but IDLE, the switch is still in the middle of running the startup routine, and we must wait before logging in. You should only log in when the switch is IDLE. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DocumentationBefore we really try to log in to the switch, I want to touch on the important issue of documentation. You really need to have some documentation to get anywhere with the Meridian. The commands used to program the switch are not at all obvious, and error messages returned by the system are just cryptic alphanumeric codes with no descriptive text. Thus, having the administration command reference and a cross reference for the error messages is a must. It used to be difficult to obtain documentation for the Meridian but since I first started learning about the platform, the documentation has become quite easy to find with a web search. The table below contains the title and publication numbers for the manuals which are absolutely critical to have when working with the Meridian. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The technical reference guide will give you the general clue as far as the hardware of the Meridian goes. It should provide you with a feel for how the system was designed and how all the various component parts work together. Practically, it furnishes specifications, jumper settings, and pinouts for all of the various expansion cards that compose a Meridian PBX. When discussing system controllers it mostly focuses on the newer NTDK20 Option 11c card but all of the information regarding expansion cards is still completely relevant if you are running an older processor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The administration guide is the main command reference for the Meridian system. This guide is critical to working with the switch. The companion text to this is the equally critical system messages guide. This is just a giant index of all the possible cryptic alphanumeric error codes along with descriptions of what the error actually is in plain English so you can actually troubleshoot the problem. The maintenance guide is also very important to have it you are doing anything outside of simple moves, adds, or changes on the switch. It is basically an addendum to the administration guide that describes maintenance and diagnostic commands. You really need at least these four manuals to get anywhere with the Meridian. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Logging inRead the documentation over a little bit before you log in to the switch just to get a feel for the system. When it starts to make sense, go back to your console and hit RETURN again. You should see the system banner again. type the command LOGI and hit RETURN. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
To be safe, be sure to type it in all caps. Older revisions of the software prior to Release 22 will not respond to lower case input and instead throw an error message. The system will prompt you for a password, which motivates the following discussion of the authentication model at work on the Meridian. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the most simple case, the Meridian switch has two levels of privilege. That is to say, you can consider the Meridian as having two accounts. Each account is distinguished by a different password. The two accounts are similar in the sense that they can both change almost all aspects of the switch configuration. The only difference is that one account can be used to set system passwords and view various tables pertaining to passwords and auth codes, while the other cannot. I may refer to the lesser privileged level of access as PWD1, and the more privileged as PWD2. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You can use either password to log in to the switch. If you do something that requires the PWD2 level of access, you will be prompted for the PWD2 password, regardless of whether you used PWD1 or PWD2 to log into the system initially. You really need to know PWD2 or else you will not be able to really take full control of the switch. Ideally you got one or both of them from the vendor of your system controller card, but oftentimes we are not so lucky. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For a little background on passwords, consider the Meridian System Security Guide. It states that as of Release 25, passwords on the Meridian can be from 4 to 16 characters in length. The password can include numeric as well as uppercase and lowercase alphabetic characters. The switch also has the option to enable the use of usernames for accounts, instead of just using a password for access. When this option is enabled, the system automatically creates two users with names ADMIN1 and ADMIN2 that take the PWD1 and PWD2 passwords, respectively. Additional user accounts can be created with access to a limited set of overlay programs (LAPW). The usernames themselves can be up to 11 mixed case alphanumeric characters. Note that even on older releases where command input must be furnished only in uppercase, the system is still sensitive to mixed case in usernames and passwords. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to all this, the Meridian can be configured to just flat out reject all login attempts after a certain number of failed login attempts regardless of whether the password is correct or not until a certain amount of time passes. All of these security measures taken together mean that if you buy some used equipment and the previous admin was paranoid, brute forcing the switch could potentially be somewhat tricky, even given some kind of automated solution such as an expect script. On the other hand, the default PWD2 is more common than you might think, so it is not altogether hopeless. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The real problem here and the reason that I spend so much time here discussing passwords and usernames is that there is not really an easy way to just clear out the existing configuration on the switch like there is on say a Cisco router, even given physical access to the switch and console. Ultimately the moral of the story here is that unless you have a friend who is a Nortel certified tech, you either need to be able to guess the PWD2 password, buy system controllers on a trial and error basis until you find one with the default PWD2 of 0000, or have an existing configuration database where the passwords are known that you can restore on a locked out controller. I have maybe six or eight controller cards across all Option 11 types and at least two of them were defaulted when I got them. so the odds are not terrible. Sometimes folks just left the default password set, or you find new old stock spares with defaults. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Note that since the initial writing of this document, further information has hit the web regarding Meridian password recovery. If you can get access to the configuration database (say, via PDT), a tool is available at Mike's PBX Cookbook to fish the passwords out (thanks Mike! any chance we can see the algorithm?) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
So let me repeat that a common default password to try on the switch is 0000 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When you have the password, type it at the PASS prompt and hit RETURN. Upon a successful login you will get a message that you have LOGGED IN before landing at the overlay loader prompt. Newer revisions of the system support the printing of an intimidating message after logging in which I think is fun to leave enabled. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Using the overlay loaderNow that you have successfully logged in to the switch, I should probably tell you how to get around a little bit. Basically, when you first log in, you end up landing in something called the overlay loader. Think of the overlay loader as a shell that only has one command, which allows you to load an overlay. An overlay is basically a program that allows you to administer one aspect of the system. There are a number of different overlays, each of which handles a particular configuration or diagnostic task. You might also hear the overlays referred to as loads. Each load is identified by an integer, X, and the command to invoke the load would be LD X. For example, we invoke a print routine, load 22, below. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
>LD 22 PT2000 REQ |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The loads are named as such because historically, when you accessed one from the overlay loader, it would literally load the program from the floppy or tape drive on the switch and it was very, very slow. These days it all comes out of flash or ROM so we dont have to wait around much. But its funny to read old documentation which implies that a load could take thirty seconds or a minute to actually come up after being invoked. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When you invoke a load, it usually prints some sort of banner and prompts you for your REQuest. The responses available to you are given in the system administration guide for each particular load. In general, some common responses are NEW, CHG, OUT, and PRT. Sometimes a lot of functionality is crammed into one load that will allow you to define NEW configuration, CHanGe an existing configuration, take something OUT of current configuration, or PRinT the current configuration. Other times, a load is very simple and will only PRinT configuration, like LD 22. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
While navigating loads, you will always want to remember that entering
four asterisks **** in response to any prompt will take you back to the
overlay loader and cancel the current change in progress. Also remember
that if you make a mistake in response to a prompt, you can type a single
asterisk * and hit RETURN. You will then be prompted to enter the value
again.
The general procedure here is that you log in, enter an overlay from the overlay loader, do something, return to the overlay loader, enter another overlay, and so on, until you are all done, at which point you will want to save your changes then log out. |

Cards and units |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Another thing that is critical to be familiar with when working with the Meridian is how the system addresses option cards. Basically, everything in the system has an address, which is called a TN, or terminal number. When configuring the switch, you will often be prompted for a TN. The documentation from Nortel is a little sparse on what a TN actually is so I will tell you quite explicitly. If you look in the Administration Guide, it will tell you something about the valid response to a TN prompt being of the format L S C U, or loop, slot, card, unit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Really you should ignore this. You only specify TNs in this format on the larger Meridian systems. Usually right under this stuff about L S C U in the documentation, you will see a note that for small systems, the format is C U or card, unit. By small systems, they mean the Option 11 line. This is fortunate because it makes life a lot easier for us. You determine the TN thus by noting the slot number in which the card is inserted, which will be the card number, as well as the unit number. The unit number starts at zero and what it represents varies from card to card. A unit is most typically a line. For a station card or trunk card, the first line is unit 0, the second line is unit 1, and so forth. A unit might be a serial port or a tone generator. Some cards might only have a single unit. If you are unsure of the card number, refer to the bus probe messages generated by the system at boot time, or look at the legend under the card cage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Logging outIn the most simple single user sense, the overlay loader has not just one but really two commands, one to load overlays and the other to log you out. When you are finished with your configuration changes, use the LOGO command at the overlay loader prompt to end your session. |

Reclaiming gray market Option 11c processors |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As i mention earlier on this page, it is not entirely clear how one might just flat out reset or recover the PWD1 and PWD2 passwords on a processor card without already knowing them (outside of using PDT), and there is no way to just clear out the configuration and return the system back to a factory default state without a software installation card and a bunch of keycodes. However, so long as you or a friend has access to a Meridian where the PWD1 and PWD2 passwords are known, you can make a copy of that configuration database to a host computer and then load it on to any arbitrary system controller you may later acquire. Thus, there is no need to recover or reset to default any existing passwords, when you can just replace them with your own. No password controlled access of any sort is required to the recipient processor card in order to perform this procedure so long as you can get to the system console TTY 0. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basically, all you need is a recipient Option 11c system controller card and a donor CCBR file from a Meridian that you already have PWD2 access on, obtained with the XBK command from LD 43 or LD 143 on the donor PBX. The recipient system controller card must have a security dongle installed and a fully functional software load, with the only issue being that you do not have the passwords to log in. This is usually the case for most system controllers that you will find and it is mostly just a case of being careful to avoid the odd one where the security dongle is missing or the software daughterboard has been wiped. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We are taking advantage of the fact that there is an excellent pre boot utility menu available on the Option 11c processor that allows the restoration of any configuration database to the controller without needing to log in to the controller first with any existing passwords that it may have. We are also greatly facilitated by the fact that the CCBR database backup files are not specific to the system on which they were initially generated, and the ISM software licensing parameters follow the software daughterboard, not the configuration database, so there are no worries about database compatibility, or not being able to take advantage of the full feature sets available on the various processor cards which you may acquire. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 1: Get a donor CCBR database backup file from a Meridian system where you already have full PWD2 access. If you are preparing this yourself rather than getting it from a friend, basically what you do is just go to either LD 43 or LD 143 depending on release on the donor PBX and use the XBK command to back up your database to a host computer using XModem. After invoking the XBK command, you will be prompted to enter a description for the backup. When done entering the description, hit RETURN twice. you should then receive a prompt R> at which point you will want to set up your host computer to receive data via xmodem crc protocol. Hyperterminal will work fine for this. You should end up with a CCBR file on your computer when the transfer is complete. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 2: Install your recipient Option 11c system controler card and power it up. Hit ctrl-I when prompted to enter the install and upgrade menu, even though we arent really going to install or upgrade the system software. When you get to the menu, select 3 to go to Utilities. At the next menu, select 1 to go to Restore Backed Up Database. Finally, select 4 to select Option 11/11e CCBR file. Just say "y" when reminded that you will actually need to have a CCBR file on hand to proceed. At this point, the system should say Ready to receive... at which point you will want to initiate the XModem transfer of the backup database file from the host computer. Again, Hyperterminal seems to work fine for this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 3: When the transfer is complete, you will see some transfer statistics and hopefully a message similar to the following | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
REMOTE BACKUP file found.. Files successfully transferred into source directory. Database restore and upgrade complete |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When you return to the menu, type "q" to exit and say "y" when prompted. The system will the continue the boot procedure. What we have basically just done here is to copy our existing configuration database with known passwords to the recipient system controller card, overwriting any previous configuration database and of course passwords that it may have initially had. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 4: The first time that the system boots after restoring the CCBR backup file, you may see a DATA CONVERSION occur if the donor and recipient versions differ. This is a normal and desired thing to have happen. When the system finishes booting, you should be able to log in with the passwords that you had used in the configuration stored in the CCBR backup file. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 5: After logging in successfully, you should pop in to LD 43 and do an EDD. This will ensure our new configuration gets saved to the flash on the system controller. When you attempt to perform an EDD, you may end up with failures such as EDD016 NO GO BAD DATA. If this occurs, you can try to use the EDD CLR command instead of EDD; this will override the write inhibit flag on the configuration database and force an EDD. If this occurs, there is no need for despair as it rarely tanks the whole thing. Rather, you may just see sporadic data corruption in various aspects of your configuration. You just need to look around and test everything out after bringing the switch up with the newly restored configuration. When you find something that doesnt work, just OUT and recreate it and it will work fine again. This corruption seems to occur mostly when you make major version jumps e.g. Release 21 to Release 24. if you try to keep the major version close between both the donor and recipient e.g Release 21 to Release 22 this is very unlikely to occur. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Thats all there is to unlocking basically any locked out Option 11c system controller so long as the existing configuration database doesnt matter and you have a donor database available. Please do note however that this procedure is only applicable to Option 11c processors as the recipient since they are unique in offering the Ctrl-I preboot utility menu. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PDT |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You may occasionally see mention in Internet forums or mailing lists of a sort of debugger or ROM monitor called PDT. You can access this by hitting Ctrl-PDT on an Option 11c processor at pretty much any time while it is running. You dont have to do anything special with the front panel DIP switches. Just hit the control key sequence. Upon successful use of the key sequence, you will be prompted to log in to PDT. As with the regular administrative layer of the PBX, there is both a level 1 and a level 2 password to access PDT. The default level 1 PDT password seems to be "thorsgr8" and the default level 2 PDT password has been reported to be "2tdp22ler" (thanks Mike!). You can look around in there; it is basically a VXworks shell. I think it might be possible to use PDT to fish out the passwords from an existing configuration database, or to reset the passwords when they are not known but I do not know how this is done and whether or not it requires level 2 PDT access. As far as I can tell, PDT is not available on the Option 11 or Option 11e processor modules since they seem to run the Meridian operating system on a standalone basis, rather than as a task under VXworks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hidden debug menu on Option 11c system controllers |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It is possible to access an undocumented debug mode on the Option 11c system controller. Looking at the front panel of the processor, set the 150 baud dip switch to on, in addition to the DIP switch that you have already set for the baud rate of the console. Two DIP switches will be set in total. Then power on the system. When prompted to hit Ctrl-I to enter the preboot utility menu, instead hit Ctrl-B. this will take you to a hardware debug menu. You can read and write random values to memory here, and run a fairly comprehensive self test on the system controller itself. It is also possible to use this debug mode to erase the software daughterboard, although I would not recommend doing this unless you have a software PCMCIA card and keycodes available for the reinstallation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Clearing out old switch configuration |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When we acquire a new Meridian Option 11 switch, we will generally have to initialize the system so as to get rid of the old configuration and replace it with our own. Unfortunately, as I mention earlier, there is no way to just clear out the configuration in one fell swoop like there is on something like a Cisco router. If you dont already have your own configuration database handy and ready to load, basically what you will need to do is go manually into each load and clean things out using REQ OUT. Once you have cleaned out the old switch configuration, you can start to add your own. To do this, I basically work from LD 10 down and and OUT everything that I can. You will want to be sure to check out at least the following loads. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ideally we want to OUT everything such that we can delete CDB 0 which is the default CDB, along with any other CDB records that may exist on the system. Then we just recreate CDB 0 as default which is as close to a fresh configuration as we will ever get. Start adding your own configuration from there. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LD 15 REQ OUT TYPE CDB CUST 0 LD 15 REQ NEW TYPE DEFAULT CUST 0 ANI_DATA ANAT 0000 ANLD 000 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I am not sure exactly ANAT and ANLD do but you seem to be forced to specify one. I set it as above and I have never had any problems with anything. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Every time you attempt to out CDB 0, it will either just do it, or give you an error which basically tells you what you still need to clear out in order to delete CDB 0. Just keep clearing stuff out and trying to OUT CDB 0 until successful. The error messages reference guide is a must for this task. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Do note that there is a particular workflow to the process of removing the configuration for digital trunks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Clearing out SPWD - the secure data password |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When you try to OUT the ESN or auth code data, you may be prompted for SPWD, the secure data password. We can reset the SPWD to something that we know as long as we know the PWD2 password. In this example, we will reset the SPWD to 0000. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LD 15 REQ CHG TYPE PWD_DATA CUST 0 SPWD 0000 PWD2 (whatever it is) ATAC 0000 PWD2 (again) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Saving the switch configuration |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We will usualy want to explicitly save our configuration after making changes. The Meridian does by default run a configuration dump as part of the periodic background routine, but I always like to save my configuration explicitly as well. To do this, just use the EDD command in LD 43. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
>LD 43 EDD000 .EDD EDD TO SYST. CORE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% DIRECTORY CONFIG PATCH 01 PHYSICAL MAP BCS TEMPLATE PBX TEMPLATE CUST ACUST ROUTE LTN TN LTN LNK TN SCL DIGITAL DTI ASNCH TRSH BG-TIME BG-CAT PRI ARIES SYSP XPEC XTDT FTC MCAD FCAD FDCT LAPW SEER TIME CHECKING RECORD COUNT = 0023 EDD TO CARTR. %%%%%%%% DATABASE BACKUP COMPLETE . EDD000 .** . EDD000 .** > |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Be sure that power to the switch is not disturbed while the configuration is being saved. Also note that you can back up your configuration to a computer using the XBK command from within either LD 43 (on older option 11 and option 11e controllers), or LD 143 (on the newer option 11c controllers). The XBK command copies the configuration database on the switch to the host computer using the XModem CRC protocol. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Set the date and time |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The system time is set with the STAD command in LD 2. the format is DD MM YYYY HH MM SS. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Configure a T100 test line |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Meridian supports a combination milliwatt and silent termination test line. It is not enabled by default and must be configured in the cusomer data block LD 15. The example below shows a T100 line configured at DN 5000. Note that this cannot be dialled locally from a phone on the Meridian; it will just get reorder. The cal must come in on a trunk in order for it to go through. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This is a very helpful report that you can run from LD 20 by issuing a PRT request for TYPE TNB. This prints most configured terminal numbers on the system including digitone receivers, analog sets, digital sets, and trunks. This is most useful when in the process of cleaning up an old configuration as it will tell you a majority of the stuff that you will need to remove. It is also a nice report to run because you can use it to get a list of digital sets of all TYPEs concurrently.

You can print the authentication database of the switch by issuing a PRT request for type PWD from within LD 22. This will tell you what the PWD1 and PWD2 passworsd are. Of course, there is a catch: you must know the PWD2 password before the load will run. For the purposes of this example, you can see that both passwords are set to 1234. We can also see where the failed login lockout threshold is set. In this case, the failed login threshold is three failed attempts, after which the TTY will be locked out for an interval of 30 minutes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 6: Disable and then re-enable the Ethernet interface in LD 137 to apply the IP address change.

Step 7: Configure a PTY in LD 17 for remote administration. Strangely, you will have to use rlogin. Telnet is not supported.

That is all you will need to do on the Meridian to get it up on the network and ready to accept a connection from a remote host. To access the Meridian, use rlogin to connect with a username of CPSID1110. this should drop you at the usual X11 login prompt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When you are done, hit ctrl-PDT to jump to PDT. Log in with the default password of "thorsgr8" and then type "exit" to disconnect from the Meridian. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If you try to rlogin to the Meridian without specifying a username, you will land at the PDT login prompt, just as if you had typed ctrl-PDT on any TTY connected to the PBX. You can still access the X11 interface by logging in with the PDT password "thorsgr8" and then using the "sl1input" command. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Also note that by default that the Meridian only allows one user to be logged in to the system at any given time. When one user logs in to the system, any other user who may have been using it will be logged out. If the system is equipped with the MULTI_USER package, multi user support can be enabled in LD 17 OVLY. You may find it more effective to enable multi user support when using network based remote administration, so you can be logged in both over the network and at a TTY simultaneously. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Configuring a NTAK03 TDS/DTR card |

First add the TDS card in the common equipment settings using LD 17, then enable the card in LD 34. Finally, configure each discrete unit of tone and digit switch on the card with LD 13. There are also a few TTYs available on the NTAK03 card for general use.

Configuring an ISDN BRI line |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
To provide ISDN BRI from the Meridian, a minimum of two cards are needed: one MISP signalling processor and at least one UILC (U) or SILC (S/T) line card. Each MISP can support up to four UILC or SILC line cards in any combination. Configuration is almost identical for a U-interface or S/T-interface BRI and is done almost completely in LD 27. For the purposes of this example, consider that we have a MISP card in slot 1 and a UILC line card in slot 7. Follow the steps below to configure an ISDN BRI circuit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Note that the pinouts of the UILC and SILC cards and further detail about configuring ISDN BRI can be found in the Meridian 1 Option 11C ISDN BRI Hardware Installation and Maintenance guide (553-3011-311). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Setting up trunks to Cisco MC3810: T1 CAS |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Once we get the Meridian set up with some local analog and digital sets,
of course the next thing is to configure some trunks. A nice easy way to
get a T1 trunk up quickly is to use CAS signalling. I dont really use CAS
any longer on my network but it is definitely as easy as it gets as far as
setting up digital trunks. The scenario is as follows.
Cisco MC3810 with AVM and MFT T1 card. MFT T1 card is connected to Nortel 1.5 MB DTI/PRI in Slot 2 of the Meridian using CAS. The Meridian will be providing network clock for the T1 span. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When this is all said and done, a user on the Nortel can dial an extension on the Cisco by dialing 9, then the 4 digit extension number of a phone on the Cisco side (e.g. 9000). On the Cisco side, a user can dial an extension on the Nortel by dialing the 4 digit extension number of a phone on the Nortel side (e.g. 7000 or 8000). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Before we even talk about software we first have to consider cabling between the Cisco and the switch. Refer to the table below; this will give us a crossover cable. RJ45 pins are counted by pointing RJ45 jack, pins end away from you, clasp facing bottom. pin 1 will be the pin furthest to your left, pin 8 will be the pin furthest to your right. Cable from 66 block pin to RJ45 pin; the Nortel pin numbers and signal identifiers are just given for reference. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Assume we start out with a clean configuration: no digital data block, digital loops or D-channels, defined. Use the procedure above to clear out the switch if in question. For the purpose of this example there is a DTI/PRI card with a clock controller and DCHI daughterboard (unused here) installed in slot 2 of the Meridian. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 1: Create digital data block. We only need to do this once on a system. Basically it is just used to establish a TRSH table, which is just a table full of threshold settings mostly for error counters. This is also where you define your clock controller later. Here we just use all default values for the threshold set (just hit return). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 2: Define the DTI/PRI card in slot 2 of the Meridian by configuring a digital loop for it in the common equipment settings (LD 17). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 5: Create a route for the DTI/PRI card. It will be a direct inward dial (DID) trunk which makes this easy to set up because basically how it works is the user dials an access code, gets on a trunk, and the PBX just forwards out what digits the user dials to the trunk. Conversely when the Cisco gets a call that it needs to send on to the PBX, it just sends out the digits it gets over the trunk to the PBX subject to any stripping rules we set up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

That should basically do it for the Nortel. We might have to kick the trunk card with DISL 2/ENLL 2 in LD 60 on the Nortel, or a shut/no shut on controller T1 0 on the Cisco, or power cycle one device or the other, but the T1 link should come up and work great with this config. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
So now the Cisco configuration. I will just post the pertinent parts of the configuration as relating to the T1 part of
things. It is really fairly simple. We configure our T1 controller in CAS mode and create a ds0-group that contains all
of the timeslots. The Cisco generates a voice-port 0:1 to represent the T1. We route calls to the PBX using dial-peers
with various patterns consisting of a trunk access code and an extension of the pbx.
Note that in this example, voice-ports 1/5 and 1/6 are just FXS ports on the AVM in the Cisco. I have a test phone hooked up to the FXS port 1/6 at extension 9000. Note that the Cisco is taking network clock from the Nortel on the T1 span. Also note that we use forward-digits 4 in the dial peer to forward the full four digit extension that was dialed to the Meridian. |

Setting up trunks to Cisco MC3810: E&M tie lines |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Now I will discuss a more hypothetical configuration of some E&M trunks between the Nortel and the Cisco. I have
had this wired up at various points in time but never got it quite working. I think it is mostly correct save for a
few tweaks. The scenario looks as follows
Cisco MC3810 with AVM and MFT T1 card. MFT T1 card is unused in this case. Four E&M trunks are used to connect the AVM on the Cisco and an E&M trunk card in slot 3 of the Meridian. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We will begin with the configuration that needs to be added to the Nortel Meridian for E&M and then move on to the Cisco configuration. But again before even getting to programming anything we first must cable things up according to the table below. This should in theory give us a six wire E&M cable with signalling wires crossed over for back to back use. Again cable from 66 block pin to RJ45 pin; the Nortel pin numbers are just given for reference. RJ45 pin numbers are given relative to pin side facing away from you, clasp facing down, pin 1 will then be that which is leftmost. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You can cable up the other 3 units of E&M on this card using the same pattern. Each unit takes up 8 positions on the 66 block; we skip pins 7 and 8 in this particular wiring arrangement. So the second unit will run from pin 9-16 on the 66 block, the third unit will run from 17-24 on the 66 block and the fourth unit will run from 25-32 on the 66 block. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 1: Create another route data block for the E&M lines. We have to do it as a tie line because the E&M trunks do not support direct inward dial. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Step 2: Add a single E&M trunk line to the route we just created. We use 4 wire E&M which matches what is set on the Cisco. We set E&M Type 1 on the Nortel which according to Cisco matches type V on their equipment, which is what we will use on the MC3810. Wink start signalling is used for this link and is configured to match on both devices. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Setting up trunks to Cisco MC3810: T1 PRI |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This configuration works great and I have migrated all my T1 trunks on my
Meridian to ISDN PRI. There are definitely some added complexities in
configuring T1 PRI versus T1 CAS and I will discuss them in detail below.
Assume again that we are starting with basically a clean slate with no
previously defined digital loops, D-channels, trunks, routes, clock
controllers and so forth. The scenario appears as follows.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The ISDN switch-type will be NI-2. The Cisco will act as the network side and the Nortel will act as the user side. The Nortel will provide clock for the network link. For simplicity, we are configuring the trunk as a direct inward dial trunk rather than a tie trunk. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I do want to state explicitly that the T1 card in this case is pinned out exactly the same as in the T1 CAS case above so just follow that wiring plan if the card hasnt been wired up yet. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Before we proceed I do want to note that the Nortel is equipped with a DDCH card in this scenario. I also tried various T1 PRI configurations between the Cisco and the Nortel when the Nortel was equipped with a DCHI card instead of a DDCH card and was never able to make it work. Once I swapped in the DDCH card, it started working pretty quickly. I got lucky and got my DDCH card for really cheap but since DCHI cards are so much cheaper to get I would be really curious to hear if any other folks out there have been able to get it working with a DCHI card. It should in theory be possible to do. You can also do this successfully with an NTRB21 TMDI T1 board instead of the NTAK09. The TMDI board does not need a separate D-channel handler daughterboard as this functionality is internal to the TMDI. If using a TMDI, note that the pinouts are identical to those of the NTAK09. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We will start out configuring the Meridian, and then move along to the Cisco. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step 1: Create digital data block. We do it the very same way as we do for the T1 CAS configuration. If you already have a DDB 0 created then you can skip this step. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Step 7: Enable ISDN in the customer record. If it is not, adding the route in the next step will fail. Note that we leave HNPA and HNXX blank. This makes the meridian just send a 4-digit outbound CLID for the calling party. If HNPA and HNXX are specified, you get 10-digit outbound CLID for the calling party that will look like HNPA-HNXX-EXTN. The important thing is mostly that whatever you choose here lines up with the dial peers that get created later on the Cisco. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If an ISDN data block already exists with HNPA and HNXX defined, they can be removed by doing a CHG on the NET_DATA and specifying "X" for HNPA and HNXX when prompted. Unlike other cases on the Meridian where to remove a numeric value you specify the numeric value prefixed by "X" when prompted, here you just specify the X alone. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
