Use these instructions only if the system has tie trunks, including tie trunks emulated through a DS1 connection. Otherwise, skip to the next section, “DID Trunks (Hybrid/PBX Mode Only).”

If configuring T1-Tie trunks, including those with Switched 56 digital data service, complete the instructions in the “T1 Service” section first.

Tie trunks must be configured to match central office requirements or the configuration of the system to which they tie. Review tie trunk operations and make the following decisions about the way each tie trunk operates:

■Direction

■Signaling type

■E & M Signaling

■Dial mode

■Dial tone

■Answer supervision time

■Disconnect time

■Private network tandem trunks

NOTE:

See the Network Reference for information on private networking.

This section contains instructions for each of these options.

3.Under the Signaling Type (Intype/Outtype) heading, check the appropriate column for either In or Out under the Wink, Delay, Immediate, or Automatic columns for each tie trunk. For T1 facilities used for services (for example, Megacom), consider the direction of the tie trunk and how trunk assignments will be made. Then select from the following:
