Obtaining Telephone Company Information

Obtaining Telephone Company
Information
To fill out many of the forms, especially forms involving incoming lines/trunks, you
need to obtain information from the local telephone company. Before you speak
with the local telephone company, make sure you understand your customer's
company requirements regarding the communications system. Some of the
information you will need to know includes:
Which incoming line/trunk connects to each channel on each 100D
module, and the order in which the lines/trunks are assigned.
The Service Profile Identifier (SPID) and Directory Number (DN)
associated with each channel on each 800 NI-BRI module.
Whether the disconnect signals for loop-start lines/trunks are reliable or
unreliable, and the length of the Hold disconnect interval.
Information the local telephone company can provide includes:
Detailed T1 parameters
Detailed NI-1 BRI parameters
Number of digits sent on DID trunks
Any lines/trunks that require a toll-call prefix
Telephone number for each incoming line/trunk
Type or types of incoming lines/trunks (loop-start, ground-start, and so on)
Any lines/trunks that are rotary-dial

Obtaining User Information

The features and calling privileges you assign to each employee's telephone
ensure that employees get the most benefit from the system. If you were not
involved in the planning and equipment-ordering for the system, you should
discuss the system's design with the customer representative who took part.
