Hey everyone.

I'm a newbie to avaya and ISDN PRI technologies. I am planning to move offices and will have TWO PRI ISDN's installed. I have an in house fax server running on an EICON Diva T1/PRI Server card.

How can i split the PRI to have 4 channels dedicated for the fax server and the other 19 handle voice ? What's needed on the avaya PBX, another t1 card ? How will the D-channel operate ? Rather, how do you share the D-Channel between all the channels ?

How do companies , who have an in house fax server, accomplish this on the PRI and PBX side ?

Would an ATLAS 550 solve my problem ?

I don't quite understand the topolgy of a typical PBX setup.. I could use some help as my PBX Vendor doesn't have the slightest idea on how to incorporate my fax server behind the PBX. They mentioned the problem being the D-channel.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

If you need to have a T1 into your fax server (as would be indicated by T1/PRI server card), you would need another T1 circuit. The only way to set up a fax server off of a PRI that is also used for voice traffic on a Legend/Magix would be through an analog server card. You would configure a hunt group with analog extensions in it and connect those analog extensions to your fax server.
