    Dial Access
    This field controls whether users can route outgoing calls through an outgoing or 
    two-way trunk group by dialing its trunk access code. Allowing dial access does 
    not interfere with the operation of AAR/ARS.
    !SECURITY ALERT:
    Calls dialed with a trunk access code over WATS trunks bypass 
    AAR/ARS and aren’t restricted by facility restriction levels. For 
    security, you may want to leave the field set to n unless you need dial 
    access to test the trunk group.  This field also controls the signaling used by members in public network digital 
    trunk groups. This field displays if the Group Type field is 
    access, aplt, rlt, 
    tandem, or tie. Entries in this field affect which timers appear on the 
    Administrable Timers page.
    DIOD trunks support pulsed and continuous E&M signaling in Brazil and 
    discontinuous E&M signaling in Hungary. Refer to DEFINITY ECS Application 
    Notes for Type Approval for more information. Use the following entries for 
    DIOD trunks. Use these values only when all trunk group members are assigned 
    to a TN464F (or later version) or TN2464 circuit pack.
    pulsed
    cont

    blank Brazil E&M trunks can use continuous and pulsed E&M. For 
    continuous E&M signaling, set this field to 
    cont. For pulsed 
    E&M signaling, set this field to 
    pulsed. A blank setting 
    provides R2 signaling.
    Hungary uses discontinuous E&M signaling when this field is 
    dis.

    Busy Threshold
    Use this field if you want attendants to control access to outgoing and two-way 
    trunk groups during periods of high use. When the threshold is reached and the 
    warning lamp for that trunk group lights, the attendant can activate trunk group 
    control: internal callers who dial out using a trunk access code will be connected 
    to the attendant, and the attendant can prioritize outgoing calls for the last 
    remaining trunks. Calls handled by AAR and ARS route patterns go out normally.
    Night Service
    This field sets the destination to which incoming calls go when Night Service is in 
    operation. If a Night field on the Group Member Assignments page is 
    administered with a different destination, that entry will override the group 
    destination for that trunk. CPE, DID, and DIOD trunk groups do not support night 
    service.
    Tip:
    Whenever possible, use a night service destination on your switch: 
    otherwise some features won’t work correctly, even over a DCS network.

    Queue Length
    Outgoing calls can wait in a queue, in the order in which they were made, when all 
    trunks in a trunk group are busy. If you enter 0, callers receive a busy signal when 
    no trunks are available. If you enter a higher number, a caller hears confirmation 
    tone when no trunk is available for the outgoing call. The caller can then hang up 
    and wait: when a trunk becomes available, the switch will call the extension that 
    placed the original call. The caller will hear 3 short, quick rings. The caller 
    doesn’t need to do anything but pick up the handset and wait: the switch 
    remembers the number the caller dialed and automatically completes the call.
    This field appears when the Direction field is outgoing or two-way. 
    Tip:
    Enter 0 for DCS trunks.
    Country
    This field is administered at installation and sets numerous parameters to 
    appropriate values for the public network in which the switch operates. For 
    example, the value of this field, with the values of the Trunk Termination and the 
    Trunk Gain fields, determines the input and trans-hybrid balance impedance 
    requirements for ports on TN465B, TN2146, and TN2147 circuit packs.
    This field appears for the trunk groups that connect DEFINITY ECS to a central 
    office in the public network — CO, DID, DIOD, FX, and WATS trunk groups.
    !CAUTION:
    Don’t change this field. If you have questions, contact your Lucent 
    representative.

    Ve rs i o n
    Use this field to adjust the signaling on multi-country CO trunk circuit packs. 
    Entries in this field adjust signaling characteristics on these circuit packs to match 
    the signaling characteristics of the public network in a specific country. The field 
    appears only for CO, FX, and WATS trunk groups when the Country field is 
    5, 16, 
    or 
    23.
    15If the Country field is 15, DEFINITY ECS is administered for 
    Public Network Call Priority (Intrusion and Rering). Also, the 
    Protocol Type field appears for Group Type DID or DIOD.
    18If the Country field is 18, DEFINITY ECS can be administered 
    for Public Network Call Priority (Mode of Release Control, 
    Forced Disconnect, and Rering).
    23If the Country field is 23 and the Group Type field is either CO 
    or DID, DEFINITY ECS is administered for Block Collect 
    Calls.
    Valid entries Usage
    If the Country field is 5, the Version field only controls TN2147 ports.
    a Enter a to use standard signaling for the Netherlands public

    Incoming Destination
    Use this field to set the destination for all incoming calls on trunk groups such as 
    CO, FX, and WATS that must terminate at a single destination. The destination 
    you enter here is also the default night service destination unless you enter a 
    different destination in the Night Service field. Appears when the Direction field 
    is 
    incoming or two-way.
    Comm Type
    Use this field to define whether the trunk group carries voice, data, or both.
    NOTE:
    Comm Types of avd, rbavd and data require trunk member ports on a DS1 
    circuit pack.
    Valid entries Usage
    blank Leave this field blank if the Trunk Type (in/out) field is not 
    auto/….
    an extension 
    numberCalls go to the extension you enter. You may enter any type of 
    extension, though typically the extension entered here 
    identifies a VDN, a voice response unit, or a voice messaging 
    system. Night service overrides this setting when it’s active.
    attdCalls go to the attendant and are recorded as Listed Directory 
    Number (LDN) calls on call detail records.
    Valid 
    entries Usage
    avd
    Enter avd for applications that mix voice and Digital Communication Protocol 
    data, such as video conferencing applications. The receiving switch 
    discriminates voice calls from data calls and directs each to an appropriate 
    endpoint. Neither originating nor terminating switches insert a modem poll for 
    any calls when Comm Type is 
    avd. 
    The Signaling Mode field on the DS1 circuit pack screen must be set for either 
    common-chan or CAS signaling.
    dataEnter data only when all calls across the trunk group originate and terminate at 
    DEFINITY ECS digital data endpoints. Public networks don’t support 
    data: 
    supported by Lucent’s DCP protocol, this entry is used almost exclusively for 
    the data trunk group supporting DCS signaling channels.
    The Signaling Mode field on the DS1 circuit pack may be set to 
    robbed-bit or 
    com
    mon-chan.

    Auth Code
    This field affects the level of security for tandemed outgoing calls at your switch. 
    This field appears if the Direction field is incoming or two-way, and it can only be 
    y if the Authorization Codes field is y on the System-Parameters 
    Customer-Options screen.
    Digit Absorption List
    This field assigns a digit absorption list, when used, to a trunk group that 
    terminates at a step-by-step central office.
    Prefix-1
    Use this field for outgoing and two-way trunk groups handling long distance 
    service. This field appears for CO, FX, and DIOD trunk groups.
    rbavdFor digital trunk groups that carry voice and data with robbed-bit signaling.
    The Signaling Mode field on the DS1 circuit pack screen must be set to 
    robbed-bit unless mixed mode signaling is allowed on the DS1 circuit pack. In 
    that case, the Signaling Mode field may be 
    isdn-ext or isdn-pri.
    voice For trunk groups that carry only voice traffic and voice-grade data (that is, data 
    transmitted by modem). Analog trunk groups must use 
    voice.
    Valid entries Usage
    y/n
    Enter y to require callers to enter an authorization code in order 
    to tandem a call through an AAR or ARS route pattern. The 
    code will be required even if the facility restriction level of the 
    incoming trunk group is normally sufficient to send the call out 
    over the route pattern.

    Trunk Flash
    Some central offices allows users to activate special services (call waiting or 
    3-way conferencing, for example) by flashing the switch hook on their phone. If 
    an outside caller does this while they’re on a call with one of your users, your 
    switch may interpret the flash as a disconnect signal and end the call. Use this 
    field to prevent such accidental disconnections.
    Toll Restricted
    BCC
    Generalized Route Selection uses the BCC to select the appropriate facilities for 
    routing voice and data calls. Far-end tandem switches also use the BCC to select 
    outgoing routing facilities with equivalent BCC classes.The entry in the Bearer 
    Capability Class field is used to select the appropriate facilities for incoming 
    ISDN calls. DEFINITY ECS compares the entry in the BCC field to the value of 
    the Bearer Capability information element for the incoming call and routes the 
    call over appropriate facilities. For example, a call with BCC 4 will only be 
    connected through facilities that support 64 kbps data transmission.
    The Bearer Capability Class field appears when all of the following are true:
    nEither the ISDN-BRI Trunks field or the ISDN-PRI field on the System 
    Parameters Customer-Options screen is 
    y.
    nThe Group Type field is access, co, fx, tandem, tie, or wats.
    nThe Comm Type field is data, avd, or rbavd. 
    Valid entries Usage
    y/n 
    Enter y so that your switch won’t disconnect incoming callers 
    who flash their switch hook to activate central office services.
    Valid entries Usage
    y
     Enter y to prevent toll-restricted users from using a trunk 
    access code to make restricted outgoing calls over this trunk

    ITC 
    The Generalized Route Selection feature, part of the automatic routing technology 
    used in DEFINITY ECS, compares the line coding of available digital facilities 
    and selects appropriate routes for voice and data calls. The Information Transfer 
    Capability field appears when the Comm Type field is data, avd, or rbavd and the 
    BCC field is not 0. 
    Tip:
    To find out what kind of line coding a trunk group member uses, check the 
    Line Coding field on the DS1 Circuit Pack screen for the DS1 port to which 
    the member is assigned.
    Trunk Type
    Use this field to control the seizure and start-dial signaling used on this trunk 
    group. Entries in this field vary according to the function of the trunk group and 
    must match the corresponding setting on the far-end switch. This field appears for 
    CO, DID, FX, and WATS trunk groups.
    Refer to ‘‘
    Transmission and supervisory signaling’’ on page 1581 for more 
    information. Procedures in ‘‘
    Managing trunks’’ on page 349 give specific 
    suggestions for signaling to use with different types of trunk groups.

    rest
    (ricted)  Restricted trunks use ami-basic or ami-zcs line coding and 
    can carry only restricted calls.
    unre(stricted) Unrestricted trunks use b8zs, hdb3, or cmi line coding and can 
    carry restricted or unrestricted calls. A trunk group with an 
    unrestricted ITC may have only unrestricted trunks as 
    members.
    Valid entries Usage
    ground-start 
    Use ground-start signaling for two-way trunks whenever 
    possible: ground-start signaling avoids glare and provides 
    answer supervision from the far end.
    loop-startIn general, try to use loop-start signaling only for one-way 
    trunks. Loop-start signaling is susceptible to glare and does not 
    provide answer supervision.

    auto/autoThe term before the slash tells the switch how and when it will 
    receive incoming digits. The term after the slash tells the 
    switch how and when it should send outgoing digits.
    nauto — Used for immediate connection to a single preset 
    destination (incoming CO trunks, for example). No digits 
    are sent, because all calls terminate at the same place.
    ndelay — The sending switch does not send digits until it 
    receives a delay dial signal (an off-hook signal followed by 
    an on-hook signal) from the far-end switch, indicating that 
    it’s ready to receive the digits.
    nwink — The sending switch does not send digits until it 
    receives a a wink start (momentary off-hook) signal from 
    the far-end switch, indicating that it’s ready to receive the 
    digits.

    Trunk Type (in/out)
    Use this field to control the seizure and start-dial signaling used on this trunk 
    group. The setting of the Trunk Signaling Type field can affect the entries allowed 
    in this field. In addition, settings may differ for incoming and outgoing trunks. 
    Tip:
    When incoming trunks use the setting immed/immed, the far-end switch 
    seizes the trunk and sends digits without waiting for acknowledgment from 
    the receiving switch. When traffic is heavy, the receiving switch may not 
    immediately attach a Touch Tone Receiver to a call and therefore lose digits. 
    Use wink-start trunks or increase the dial-guard timer value on the far-end 
    switch to avoid this problem.

    There are numerous valid entries for this field: use the online help in the 
    switch administration software to view all the possible combinations. Here 
    are what the elements used in those combinations mean:
    nauto — Used for immediate connection to a single preset destination 
    (incoming CO trunks, for example). No digits are sent, because all calls 
    terminate at the same place.
    ncont — Continuous signaling is used with Italian E&M tie trunks. The 
    switch seizes a trunk by sending a continuous seizure signal for at least 
    the duration specified by the Incoming Seizure Timer. Refer to ‘‘
    Trunk 
    Signaling Type’’ on page 986 for more information.
    ndelay — The sending switch does not send digits until it receives a delay 
    dial signal (an off-hook signal followed by an on-hook signal) from the 
    far-end switch, indicating that it’s ready to receive the digits.
    ndisc —Discontinuous signaling is used with Italian tie trunks that use 
    E&M signaling. The switch can seize a trunk by sending a single, short 
    signal for the duration specified by the Normal Outgoing Seize Send 
    field. However, with the Three-Way Seizure option the calling switch 
    can also send routing information to the called switch by sending one or 
    a series of brief seizure signals.
    nwink — The sending switch does not send digits until it receives a a 
    wink start (momentary off-hook) signal from the far-end switch, 
    indicating that it’s ready to receive the digits.
    nimmed — The sending switch sends digits without waiting for a signal 
    from the far-end switch.
    2-wire-acThese entries are used with CO trunks in Russia: enter the type of 
    connection to your central office. Check with you network service provider 
    if you don’t know what type of connection they’re using. To use these 
    entries, the Country field must be 
    15 and the CO trunks must use ports on a 
    TN2199 circuit board.
