Configuring digital trunks and channels
You use the Trunk Configuration applet to assign voice, data, or ISDN traffic to digital channels;
to configure connection settings for a digital channel on WAN modules or cards (for example,
the two-port T-1 module); and to assign each channel to a connection.
Caution: If you need to remove a T-1 module from the Wave Server, you must first
assign all channels of the module to None in the Connection drop-down list in the Trunk
Configuration applet. For details about this drop-down list, see “Configuring digital
trunk card or module settings,” step 5.
See the following sections to configure digital channels:
• Configuring digital trunk card or module settings. See page 5-22.
• Configuring digital channels. See page 5-29.
• Configuring digital channels for voice. See page 5-30.
• Configuring digital channels for data. See page 5-33.
• Configuring digital channels for ISDN. See page 5-34.
• Assigning digital channels to a serial interface. See page 5-35.
• Configuring ports and channels on the Quad BRI Module. See page 5-36.
After making changes to your digital trunk configuration
Note the following:
• Courtesy vs. Forced reset: Some digital trunk and digital channel configuration changes
require that you reset the affected trunks or channels for the changes to take effect. When
this occurs, you are prompted to perform either a Courtesy or Forced reset.
At the digital trunk level:
• If you choose a Courtesy reset, changes are applied immediately if the trunk is
idle. If the trunk is not idle, calls in progress are allowed to complete, but all new
inbound and outbound calls on the entire span are blocked. When the entire span is
idle (which may take awhile on a busy system), your changes will be applied.
• If you choose a Forced reset, changes are applied immediately. Any active calls
are disconnected, and all new inbound and outbound calls on the trunk are blocked
until the trunk is reset.
