Hi All
Previously I got this partial reply. However I would like to know if changing from BRA to PRI will default the system. They already have DID's set up (randomly) which the customer wants to keep as is and I would like to know if the system will need programming from scratch.
Services card is already in as it is required for both BRA & PRI. All I'm hoping to do is swap the line cards only and retain programming. Is this the case?
TIA
