Trunk Groups
Description
Trunk Groups let you optimize trunk usage for incoming and outgoing calls. With Trunk Groups,
users can have loop (rotary) keys for trunk calls. Incoming trunk group calls ring these loop keys.
For outgoing calls, the user presses a loop key to access the first available trunk within the group.
You set the access order in trunk group programming.
Loop keys give an extension user more available function keys, since the user doesn’t need a sepa-
rate line key for each trunk. The user only needs one loop key for each trunk group. This simplifies
placing and answering calls.
Like Trunk Group Routing, Trunk Groups help you minimize the expense of toll calls. For exam-
ple, if your system has outbound WATS lines, OCC lines and DDD lines, program the trunk group
to route to the WATS lines first.
Conditions
None
Default Setting
All trunks are in group 1.
Programming
➻10-09-01 : DTMF and Dial Tone Circuit Setup
Allocate the circuits on the NTCPU or DSPDB PCBs for either DTMF receiving or dial tone
detection.
➻14-02-11 : Analog Trunk Data Setup - Next Trunk in Rotary if No Dial Tone
Use this option to enable/disable the system’s ability to skip over a trunk if dial tone is not
detected. This pertains to calls using Loop Keys, Speed Dial, ARS, Last Number Redial, or
Save number Dialed (0=disabled, 1=enabled). It does not pertain to line keys or Direct Trunk
Access calls.
➻14-05-01 : Trunk Groups
Assign trunks to trunk groups.
➪Aspire S Trunk Groups: 1-8
➪Aspire Trunk Groups: 1-200
➻14-06-01 : Trunk Group Routing
Set up an outbound routing table for the trunk groups you assigned in Program 14-05. When
users dial 9, the system routes their calls in the order (priority) you specify.
➪Aspire S Trunk Groups: 1-8, Trunk Group Routes: 1-8
➪Aspire Trunk Groups: 1-200, Trunk Group Routes: 1-100
