Establishing Port Groups
A port refers to the channel or line capable of carrying one telephone call. A port group is a list
of ports and the order to search those ports. The system makes use of two types of Port
Groups: lnbound and Outbound.
Inbound Port Groups (IPG)
Inbound Port Groups provide a way to configure a list of ports that share the same settings for:

The IPG configuration is stored in a text file, named PortGroupsIB.txt. This file is stored in /usr/
dcb/dbase/admin. The configuration file may be created using a text editor, such as vi, by
anyone with root privileges on the system. Alternately, you can use ftp to transfer the file to the
system.
