Splitting a BRI for lab testing [7:1604]

2001-04-23 Thread Medley, Tim

I've read on the list about using 1 BRI and splitting the B Channels to use
a router with each B channel in a lab situation.

How is this done? I imagine I need to split the B channels at a physical
level.

Can anyone explain how to do this.

thanks,

tim

No cheap way around it, it will require an ISDN Simulator (hardware device
that simulates 2+ ISDN lines, depending on model).  ~US$1-2K depending on
what features you want.  Cisco ISDN CIM's (software programs simulating
routers and ISDN configurations) run a lot less (US$150)and may be more
appropriate.  If you can get a few people to go in on an ISDN Simulator, I'd
say it's the way to go, but otherwise it's a very costly investment to a
personal lab.  Another idea is to get two ISDN lines installed, but
unfortunately for my area that's US$150/install (or was two years ago when I
used to have it) and US$35/month/line + usage... at least with an ISDN
Simulator you can resell it when you're done and get most of your investment
back.

We've a few dozen lines at my office, and when I was prepping for my Routing
test at night I would just go in and hijack a pair to test with *evil grin*.
The worst part is it meant physically going to the office, but it was cheap.
