If the requested trunk pool is dial accessible, an outgoing trunk is selected and the call proceeds normally.

If

the requested trunk pool is not dial accessible, reorder tone is returned to

the

calling party.

Any attempt to dial an outgoing trunk pool by non-tandem tie trunks (that is, tie trunks whose trunk number does not begin with 9) results in reorder tone being returned to the calling party.

S t a t i o n M e s s a g e D e t a i l R e c o r d i n g ( S M D R ) : After accessing an outgoing facility, the tandem trunk’s Facility Access Code (FAC) will be recorded in the STN field on the call’s SMDR record. If the tandem trunk has no FAC, then the 4-digit trunk number (9X X X) will be recorded in the STN field. All other SMDR fields are unaffected.

Administration Requirements

Except for the need to specify the trunk number as described above, administration of tandem trunks is the same as for any other tie trunk.

Hardware Requirements

Only dial-in tie trunks (types 1003-1008) may be used for tandem trucking.
