Trunk Dialing
Scheme
Overlap or En-bloc dialing.
• Overlap allowstheterminaltoomitpartofthe
digits required to complete a call, while the
remaining digits are buffered. Use Overlap
Dialing for analog trunks and for T1 (robbed bit)
for best results.
• En-bloc allows the terminal to include all of the
digits required to complete a call. Use En-bloc
Dialing for digital (PRI-ISDN) trunks.
Centrex Transfer Applies to analog and T1 trunks if the trunk is
supported by Centrex.This optionmust be selected to
forward calls to an outside number through a Centrex
switch. If the Centrex provider requires a particular
string to be sent before the dialed number, enter the
string in the Transfer Predial String box. If no
string is set as a predial string, FLASH is used.
Attribute In Service makes the trunk available for use. Out of
Service prevents the trunk from being used (for
example, while performing maintenance).
Enable Tie Trunk Allows hop-on and hop-off dialing for an ISDN/PRI,
or T1 trunk. When this box is checked, any incoming
call to the selected trunk can be sent with ANI/DNIS
information. To use this feature, Hop-off must also be
enabled under System Configuration Call
Restrictions, as discussed in “Defining System Call
Restrictions” on page 5-12. Also, the board must be
configured to allow for tie trunks. See “Setting up T1
or PRI Channels on the Triton T1/PRI Board” on
page 6-41.
Trunk Properties Opens a dialog box that allows you to configure low-
level, hardware-specific properties for each trunk.
The options vary depending on the type of board and
trunk; this is discussed in subsequent sections.
