Basic Cut-Over Checklist
Trunking Cut-Over
For existing trunking, use the cut-over worksheets to identify the trunks that are used
from the old system (if applicable), and terminate them on the ShoreGear-120/24,
ShoreGear-60/12, ShoreGear-40/8, ShoreGear-T1, and ShoreGear-E1 voice switches.
Use a test telephone to dial in and out of each trunk, verify that it routes to the correct
location, and listen closely to the voice quality.
When preparing new trunks for installation, use the following checklist.
When all of the trunks have been tested, have the telephone company’s tester open the
trunk group, and allow the callers to use the new trunks.
