CREATING DIAL PLANS—EXAMPLES

The ATLAS Dial Plan acts as the numbering plan for switched connections. This menu defines to ATLAS the phone numbers and features associated with dual-tone-multifrequency (DTMF) dialing, Primary Rate ISDN (PRI), and Basic Rate ISDN (BRI). To operate as a switch, ATLAS must be able to terminate Network connections (Network terminations) and emulate the net- work onto other termination equipment (User terminations).

Understanding Dial Plan Configurations

Understanding Dial Plan configurations results in the successful creation of a switched connection. This understanding includes determining which of the connections are acting as Network terminations and which are acting as User terminations. Use Examples 1 and 2 to help clarify the definitions for these two types of terminations.

Example 1 PSTN Connection Dial Plan Configuration

In this example, access to the PSTN is provided by a single PRI line. There- fore, this line is configured as a Network termination. The remaining cir- cuits, which feed various types of switched equipment, are configured as User termination because ATLAS is emulating the network on those connec- tions (see Figure 9-3).
