About digital and Internet spans

Strata CS represents digital and Internet trunks as a span of individual trunks, corresponding to the number of available channels. For example, a Robbed Bit T1 trunk offers 24 channels, so when you add a Robbed Bit T1 trunk, 24 individual trunks appear in the Trunks view. You can set some properties for an individual trunk in a span, and other properties for the span as a whole.

nTo set properties for an individual trunk, right-click the trunk, and then choose Open Trunk.

nTo set properties for a span as a whole, right-click a trunk in the span, and then choose Open Span.

When Strata CS dials out over a board, it reads the board configuration information that was entered when the board was installed using the Dialogic Configuration Manager (DCM). However, the Administrator does not read this information when you add or configure a digital span that uses the board. When you add a digital span, make sure that the span type matches the protocol type specified using DCM.

You cannot change a span’s type after you add it. If you create a span of the wrong type, delete the span and add a new one of the correct type.

Note: After adding Internet trunks to a span, you must restart the computer. If the trunks fail to appear, delete the span and add the span again.Then restart the computer.
