Trunk Planning and Ordering
5 – 4 ShoreTel, Inc.
Digital Wink-Start Trunks
Digital wink-start trunks are supported on the ShoreGear-T1 voice switch. These
trunks allow external callers to dial a user’s phone number directly, without having to
use an auto-attendant or operator. Digital wink-start trunks support both inbound and
outbound calls.
Digital wink-start trunks support:
• Inbound calls
• Outbound calls
• ANI
• DID
• DNIS
Digital provisioning is provided by the wink-start protocol (often called E&M wink-
start) and Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signaling. The ShoreGear-T1 supports
ESF or D4 framing formats and B8ZS or AMI line coding.
If ANI is being used, the star (*) key must be used to delimit the ANI digits from the
DID/DNIS digits—that is:
• <DID>
• <DNIS>
• *<ANI>*<DID/DNIS>*
T1 PRI Trunks
T1 PRI trunks are supported on the ShoreGear-T1 voice switch. They are flexible
trunks that support both inbound and outbound calls.
T1 PRI trunks support:
• Inbound calls
• Outbound calls
• Caller ID number
• Caller ID name is supported for NI-2 configured trunks
• QSIG – Calling name is supported if the standard is similar to NI2. Inbound
calling name is fully supported, but outbound calling name is only supported for
Off System Extension calls
• DID
• DNIS
Digital provisioning is provided by the PRI protocol and D-channel signaling. The
ShoreGear-T1 supports PRI using DMS-100, #4ESS, #5ESS, and NI-2 signaling types.
The ShoreGear-T1 supports ESF or D4 framing formats and B8ZS or AMI line coding.
