I have a requirement to disable a number of individual D-channels in our Meridian system. This unit is an isolated system that we are using to simulate a CO for our VOIP development. If i go into LD 60 and use the DSCH command to disable channels 6-30 they then appear as "CH 06 - DSBL TIE VOD *" using STAT.
However this does not seem to last for any length of time, and usually by the next morning they will be back the IDLE state.
I need to be able to disable the channels and they stay disabled until i explicitly re-enable them again. I'd rather not have to OUT them as i'm not entirely sure that I know how to re-create them.
An alternative solution would be to change the hunting mode of the Meridian so that it hunts for a free timeslot from channel 1 upwards rather than from channel 30 downwards. I've searched the docs and can only find a way of switching to a round-robin mode instead, which is no better for us than the current top-down mode.
Thanks Ian
