VDNs can be preassigned to incoming (automatic) trunk groups, or they can be
sent in digit form to the PBX/ACD by the pu blic or a private network. The dig it s
sent to the PBX/ACD can come from the serving Central Office (CO) or toll office
via the Direct Inward Dialing (DID) feature or D NIS. The d i gits ca n also com e
from another PBX/ACD lo cation via dial-repeating tie trunks, or they can be
dialed by an internal caller. For a n on-ISDN call, the last four digits of the number
are sent to the PBX, while for an ISDN call, the entire 10-digit number is sent.
The last four or five dig its of the destination a ddress passed to the P BX/ACD on a
DID/DNIS or on a dial tie-trunk call comprise the VDN. Automatic trunks do not

specific incoming destination that is programmed for the corresponding
automatic trunk group. The destination can be an attendant queue, an extension,
a hunt group number, or a VDN.

which the call was routed.

a particular service. Let’s say, for example, a call is placed to an automobile
dealer. Like any such dealer, this one consists of several departments, includi ng
