Planning for lines/trunks consists of the following tasks:

1.Identifying Line/Trunk Jacks. Use the placement of modules in the control unit (see the Control Unit Diagram on Form 1) as a guide to determine in what order to connect trunks to the control unit. To do this, identify the line/trunk jack types available by module and then match trunks and auxiliary equipment with the jacks that support them.

2.Selecting Line/Trunk Options. According to the requirements of the customer, choose from available options for the incoming trunks connected to the system.

3.Assigning Lines/Trunks to User Extensions. Assign lines/trunks to telephones and DLCs.

4.Assigning Telephone Buttons. Assign buttons to Hybrid/PBX mode telephones, to Key and Behind Switch mode telephones, and to DLCs.

NOTE:

If the switch is part of a private network, the following tasks must also be performed to plan for lines/trunks: Labeling the Network Trunks, PRI Switch Type (Legend-PBX or Legend-NTWK), and Switch Identifiers. See the Network Reference for information.

This chapter contains instructions for completing each of these tasks. You should become familiar with line/trunk types and options, as well as the requirements of the system before you attempt to perform the procedures in this chapter. It is also critical that you understand what services the local telephone company can provide.
