Link Status
Fractional PRI
When you purchase PRI from your service provider, you can
request the number of B-channels that are allocated for you to
use. For example, you may want to use only 12 B-channels
instead of 23 B-channels. If this is your situation, you should
disable all the B-channels that you do not need.
It is recommended that the number of lines that are
deprovisioned on a DTI card (configured as PRI) be the same
as the number of B-channels that are disabled. For example
when B-channels 13-23 are disabled, you should deprovision
lines 13 to 23.
