T1 Switched 56 – Network

Use these instructions only if channels on a 100D module are to be programmed as T1 Switched 56 channels. The instructions provided in the “T1 Service” section must be completed first.

T1 Switched 56 service provides high speed digital data services (up to 56-kbps per channel) to the network as well as digital Tie trunk services. This allows you to use your T1 facilities for basic digital data and file transfer needs, as well as for more sophisticated personal and/or group video conferencing.

NOTES:

1.T1 Switched 56 service is supported only in Hybrid/PBX or Key mode.

2.Incoming data calls that attempt to route to busy data endpoints, unassigned Dial Plan numbers, or ports that are not equipped with data endpoints will not be connected.

This section contains instructions for configuring those T1 Switched 56 options that apply to the T1 network interface. For information specific to digital Tie trunk planning, refer to the “Tie Trunks” section of this chapter.

The following options are covered in this section:

■Direction

■Incoming and Outgoing Signaling Type

■Incoming and Outgoing Signaling Mode

■Dial Plan Routing options (incoming services)

After completing the procedure for filling in the module information on Form 3b, pages 1 and 2, continue to the next section to fill in T1 Switched 56 options.
