Description

 

 

 

Trunk Type

PSTN-based lines, VoIP,

There are three main categories of lines:

 

 

 

Target

PSTN-based lines: (analog, T1, PRI, BRI)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Voice over IP (VoIP) trunks, which connect through the LAN

 

 

 

 

or WAN.

 

 

 

 

Target lines, which are internal channels that provide direct

 

 

 

 

dial capability.

 

 

 

Name

<maximum of seven

Identify the line in a way that is meaningful to your system,

 

 

 

alphanumeric characters>

such as by the type of line and line pool or the DN it is

 

 

 

 

attached to in the case of target lines.

 

 

 

Control Set

DN <control telephone DN>

Enter a telephone DN for a telephone that you want to use

 

 

 

Default: 221 (default Start

to turn service off or on for other telephones using this line.

 

 

 

DN)

The control telephone must have the line assigned, or must

 

 

 

 

be assigned to the line pool the line is in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tips: External lines and telephones must be programmed to use one of the Scheduled

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services: Ringing, Restriction, and Routing Services.

 

 

 

For maximum flexibility, Nortel recommends that you create two different control

 

 

 

telephones, one for the lines and one for the telephones.

 

 

 

You can turn on a service manually or automatically for all external lines from an assigned

 

 

 

control telephone. However, you cannot combine schedules. A service can only be active

 

 

 

as normal service or one of the six schedules at any one time. Several schedules can be

 

 

 

active at one time, but they must use different services.

 

 

 

Line Type

Public

Define how the line is used in relation to other lines in the

 

 

 

Private to: <telephone DN>

system.

 

 

 

Pool A to O,

• Public line: can be accessed by more than one

 

 

 

telephone.

 

 

 

BlocA to BlocF

 

 

 

• Private line: can be assigned only to one telephone and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the prime telephone for that line. Enter the internal

 

 

 

 

number of the telephone.

 

 

 

 

• Pool A - O (analog and T1 lines) BlocA to BlocF

 

 

 

 

(PRI and VoIP lines): assigns the line to one of the line

 

 

 

 

pools. If a line is assigned to a line pool, but is not

 

 

 

 

assigned to any telephone, that line is available only for

 

 

 

 

outgoing calls.

 

 

 

 

Bloc line pools must be used in conjunction with routes

 

 

 

 

and destination codes. Target lines cannot be put into

 

 

 

 

line pools.

 

 

 

Prime set

DN: <telephone DN>

Assign a telephone to provide backup answering for calls

 

 

 

None

on the line. For an Auto Answer line, calls are redirected if

 

 

 

the received number is invalid or the target line is busy, and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if the

 

 

 

 

If busy parameter is set To prime.

 

 

 

 

Each line can be assigned only one prime telephone.
