Digital trunk types	Description
DPNSS	(international term: Q.Sig or Q.931) a digital private network signaling system which allows
	phone systems from different manufacturers to be tied together over E1 lines, offering
	significant enhancements to Business Communications Manager 2.5 networking
	capabilities.
	DPNSS makes it easier to support centralized network functionality within private networks,
	for operators and attendants dealing with large numbers of calls. Its routing capabilities
	provide more of the larger-network capabilities without the expense of installing a new
	system, re-configuring all the nodes and worrying about a lot of downtime. Most
	functionality over DPNSS lines is transparent once the DPNSS is programmed into the
	system.
	DPNSS allows a local node, acting as a terminating node, to communicate with other PBXs
	over the network using E1 lines. For example, corporate offices separated geographically
	can be linked over DPNSS lines to other Business Communications Manager 2.5 systems,
	bypassing the restrictions of the PSTNs to which they may be connected. This allows
	connected Business Communications Manager 2.5 systems to function like a private
	network.
Analog trunk types
Public	Provides potential access for any set on the system.
Private	Provides potential access for a specific set.

Defining time zones by country and language

Time zones are based on the actual time zone where the Business Communications Manager is located. The Time Zone drop down list on the initialization screen, allows you to be very specific in choosing a compatible time zone. If your exact location is not on the list, choose the one with the time zone closest to you. Note that some time zones are individualized because they do not switch from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time. For example, this is the case for Saskatchewan.

The format of the time and date changes are based on the prime language of the region. Table 146 provides a list of formats based on language or country.
