TIE TRUNKS

Description

Provides a private communications link between System 25 and another PBX.

Incoming tie trunk calls may be directed to the attendant, to a voice terminal, or to a data endpoint. Service may be either automatic, immediate dial, delay dial, or wink start. Dial pulse or touch-tone signalings supported on both incoming and outgoing calls (and maybe different for incoming and outgoing calls).

Considerations

Tie Trunks provide for efficient communications between company employees at different locations. This provides a private network whose control and utilization can be managed.

Tie trunks can be administered for tandem trunking in R1V2. This arrangement enables users to call through an intermediate System 25 to a remote System 25 or other PBX. Refer to the “Tandem Trunking” subsection for more information.

Interactions

Conference: A tie trunk that is part of a conference counts as one of two allowable outside parties.

Direct Group Calling: Only automatic incoming tie trunks can be directed to a DGC group; however, they are not eligible for DGC delay announcement. Dial-in tie trunks can access DGC groups, but are not eligible for queuing (that is, if the DGC

group is busy, Busy Tone is returned to the caller).

Night Service: Dial-in tie trunks cannot serve as Night Service trunks.

Personal Lines: When a dial-in tie trunk is assigned as a Personal Line and the

line

is used for outgoing service at the

same time that a call is coming in on the line,

the terminal may be connected to the

incoming call even though the call is intended

for

another terminal that shares the

line. For this reason, it is recommended that

tie

trunks not be assigned as Personal

Lines.
