So I have a basic question about how many Max's can be configured to work as a MAX stack before the solution is unworkable due to multiple chassis MPP problems. What we want to do is have a big hunt group of PRI's with the following configuration. First Box: Max4004 with two or more PRI's (NO modems) Second Box: Max4048 with two PRI's (48 modems) Third Box: Max4048 with two PRI's (48 modems) and keep adding max4048's We want the first box to have no modems so it will mainly handle ISDN customers so we can better utilize our available modems. So in theory a analog call coming into the first box should be automatically bounced back to the Telco switch an redirected to come in on the next PRI until it reaches a box with a modem. 1.) Anyone have an opinion if this is a workable solution? 2.) Also how many boxes can I put in a MAX stack before the overhead gets to high for MMP. FYI. Livinston claims they have customers stacking upto 100 PM3's together. Our Ascend Sales rep seem not to want to comment on how many Max4xxx can be stacked and tried to sell us on a TNT instead.
