With the dialing prefix 806, the first digit is a trunk-group number and the next two digits
instruct the unit to read Dial Plan profile 6. Placement of the call uses channels in trunk group
8 and the PRI settings in Dial Plan profile 6.
Matching slot and port specifications (reserved channels)
Whether or not you enable trunk groups, if you specify any slot/port numbers, the MAX unit
relies on slot/port specifications to place outbound calls. When a channel configuration
specifies a slot or slot/port combination, it effectively reserves the channel for calls to and from
the specified slot or port. Calls originating from a different slot or port do not find the channel
available. Following are the related parameters (shown with sample settings):

If the outbound call originates from a host on the Ethernet network, the destination address in
the packets brings up a Connection profile or RADIUS user profile that dials the call. If the call
does not go out through a digital modem, it originates from slot 9.
If the outbound call originates from a device connected to an inverse multiplexing port, the call
profile associated with that port dials the call. This type of call originates from the slot and port
of the inverse multiplexing card.
