Usage
Usage
Enter a unique name that provides information about the trunk
group. Don't use the default entry or the group type (DID, WATS)
here. For example, you might use names that identify the vendor
and function of the trunk group: USWest Local; Sprint Toll, etc.
Usage
Use access trunks to connect satellite media servers or switches to the main switch
in Electronic Tandem Networks (ETN). Access trunks do not carry traveling class
marks (TCM) and thus allow satellite callers unrestricted access to out-dial trunks
on the main server. Allows Inband ANI.
Advanced Private Line Termination (APLT) trunks are used in private networks.
APLT trunks allow inband ANI.
CAMA trunks route emergency calls to the local community's Enhanced 911
systems.
CO trunks typically connect Communication Manager to the local central office,
but they can also connect adjuncts such as external paging systems and data
modules.
