Introduction
•
This note describes the connectivity of a Nortel Meridian Opt 11 E Rel. 21 PBX to an H.323 gateway using Cisco CallManager 3.1. The signaling is the ETSI standard E1-PRI protocol.
•
The network topology diagram (Figure 1) shows a Nortel Meridian Opt11 E PBX connected to a Cisco 2621 router using ISDN E1-PRI signaling. The router is connected to an Ethernet switch.

Limitations
•
Calling name delivery and presentation features are not supported by the Nortel PBX as of Release 21. The only Nortel PBXs that support calling name delivery and presentation are QSIG with the GF platform (that is, ESGF, ISGF and E4GF) and DMS100.
•
When calling from a Cisco 7960 IP phone to a Nortel digital phone, the calling and called number is displayed on both phones after the call is answered as expected.
•
When calling from a Nortel digital phone to a Cisco 7960 IP phone, the Cisco 7069 IP phone displays the connected number after the call is answered. The Nortel phone, however, displays the numbers being dialed instead (that is, the access code and the extension number).
