Setting Up a PRI Line
To set up a PRI Line, perform the tasks outlined below. A more in depth explanation of the process fol-
lows along with a responsibility matrix for each task.
1. The PRI must be ordered 30-60 days in advance so that installation and turn up occur simulta-
neously with the Hub and CODEC installation. Long distance service must be ordered for the
PRI. Initiate with a conference call between Hospital, Project Manager, Project Engineer, and
ISDN Line Provider (if used).
2. The Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) must install the PRI to the Point of Demarcation (POD).
Once complete, obtain Circuit ID, PRI numbers, and Switch type information from the LEC.
3. Program the CODEC.
4. Hospital IT or Telco staff must extend the demarcation and bring the PRI line to an RJ45 Jack in
the Hub room. Ensure proper cable type and pin out is used.
5. Connect The PRI line to the Hub or CODEC with a straight through RJ45 CAT5 cable.
6. The Local Exchange Carrier must Turn Up the PRI line, have a person on site to test to the POD,
and test to the Hub if Stryker or Hospital Personnel are present. It is crucial for all parties to be
present and communicating.
7. Test the PRI bi-directionally. The LEC will have a local loop back number if another site is un-
available.
8. Register ISDN line with service provider to ensure there is not service interruption.
