Re: (ASCEND) TNT: multiple T3's into one stack

["Joe Max" <max_and_tnt@hotmail.com>]

What I meant is that you will not be able to fill up that second T3.

Each T3 gives you 672 DS0s. Assuming that you configure each DS1 for
inband signalling, that means up to 672 calls per T3 or 1344 calls
for two full T3s.

From the published marketing propaganda, the TNT has a TDM bus
limitation of 1024 timeslots. This limit applies regardless of
the configuration, standalone or multi-shelf.

So in the best case, you could serve up to 1024 calls (about
41 T1s) in that configuration. I suggest you contact your friendly
sales rep to find what the real upper limit is. I suspect it is less
than that.
