PRI networking using Call-by-Call Services
This example highlights the use of PRI Call-by-Call Services. It shows two offices
of a company, one in New York and one in Toronto. Each office is equipped with
an Enterprise Edge system and a PRI line. Each office has to handle incoming and
outgoing calls to the public network. In addition, employees at each office often
have to call colleagues in the other office. To reduce long-distance costs, and to
allow for a coordinated dialing plan between the offices, private lines are used to
handle inter-office traffic.-
PRI networking using Call-byCall Services
If call-by-call services were not used, each Enterprise Edge system might have to
be equipped with the following trunks:
• 12 T1 DID lines needed to handle peak incoming call traffic.
• 8 T1 E&M lines needed to handle inter-office calls.
• 8 lines needed to handle outgoing public calls
The total required is thus 28 lines. If the Enterprise Edge systems were using T1
trunks, then two T1 spans would be required at each office. Note that the total of 28
lines represents the worst case value for line usage. In reality, the total number of
lines in use at any one time will generally be less than 28. For example, during
periods of peak incoming call traffic, the demand for outgoing lines will be low.
With PRI call-by-call services, it is not necessary to configure a fixed allocation of
trunks. Each of the 23 lines on the PRIcan be used for DID, private Tie, or outgoing
public calls. This consolidation means that it may be possible for each office to use
a single PRI span, rather than two T1 spans.With PRI call-by-call services, the only
limitation is that there are no more than 23 calls in progress at any one time.
