Splitting a PRI (Canada)

[krempel]

I am installing GFI Faxmaker and currently have two PRI's, each connected directly to ShoreGear T1 appliances. One of the PRI's is underutilized and I would like to connect that PRI to the ShoreGear T1 appliance and our Fax board (TR1034+E4H-T1-1N-R).

I have been dealing with our carrier and Telco service provider and they keep saying I need to order an additional PRI.

I have found a Liberator "S" device from Patapsco in the UK. They say it will work fine. Has anybody worked with these devices?

I am on the network side and by no means a Telco guy...

according to papatsco, the liberator S is somekind of switch.

We just recently had the same situation ( We split a T-1 - half voice, half fax) same fax board, however, not a PRI - It is a Tech path (Digital Wink). We used an Adtran TSU 120 to split the line. I was told it supports PRI as well.
