Main/Satellite/Tributary
If you have modest network requirements, a main/satellite/tributary configuration is an attractive possibility for private networking. In this configuration, one DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions location is the main, and remote switches are satellites or tributaries. Attendant positions and public network facilities are usually concentrated at the main.
All calls to or from a satellite pass through the switch at the main. The system appears to be a single switch with one listed directory number. A uniform dial plan provides a common
A tributary is similar to a satellite, but it has one or more attendant positions and its own listed directory number. Calls to its listed directory number go directly to the tributary.
The switches in a main/satellite/tributary network are connected by tie trunks. Trunks and switching facilities can be added as requirements grow.
An important DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions’ networking feature is Main/Satellite Extended Trunk Access. Extended Trunk Access allows dialed digits that are undefined at a satellite or tributary switch to be routed over a trunk group to a main switch for interpretation. This flexibility means changes to the network numbering plan do not have to be propagated to all switches. Extended Trunk Access improves your control and reduces administration costs by making trunk networks considerably easier to maintain.
