Trunks to Pools Assignment 4
Use this procedure to create trunk pools (groups of outside lines/trunks connected
to the system). Trunk pools are used to specify preferred routes for Automatic
Route Selection (ARS). In addition, trunk pools enable users to select a line/trunk
by dialing a pool dial-out code or by pressing a single button on the telephone. (A
separate button for each line/trunk is not needed.) Each pool should contain
trunks of the same type (for example, loop- or ground-start or WATS); however,
ground- and loop-start trunks of the same type can be included in the same pool.
Ground-start trunks must be manually assigned. A maximum o f 11 trunk pools is
allowed. A trunk can be assigned to only one pool.
Do not mix different service areas of WATS (Wide Area Telecommunications
Service) trunks or FX (Foreign Exchange) lines to different cities. Do not include
both incoming only and outgoing only lines/trunks in the same pool.
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), when dialing 10*** and
101**** equal access (Interexchange Carrier or IXC) calls via a private networked
switch that is not connected to the public switched network, the pri vate trunks
must be assigned to the main pool. When routing Dial 0 and N11 calls via this type
of networked switch, the private trunks must be assigned to the main pool
containing private network trunks. For more information, see “Automatic Route
Selection” on page –363.
