Managing Trunks
10. In the Trunk Type field, type ground-start.
This field tells the system what kind of signaling to use on this trunk group. To prevent glare,
Avaya recommends ground start signaling for most two-way CO, FX, and WATS trunk
groups.
11. Press Next Page until you find the Outgoing Dial Type field.
12. In the Outgoing Dial Type field, type tone.
This field tells Communication Manager how digits are to be transmitted for outgoing calls.
Entering tone actually allows the trunk group to support both dual-tone multifrequency
(DTMF) and rotary signals, so Avaya recommends that you always put tone in this field.
13. In the Trunk Termination field, type rc.
Use rc in this field when the distance to the central office or the media server at the other
end of the trunk is more than 3,000 feet. Check with your service provider if you're not sure
of the distance to your central office.
14. Press Enter to save your changes.
Now you are ready to add trunks to this trunk group. See
page 481.
