1.Choose Trunks > New Trunk > Robbed Bit T1 Span. A new Robbed Bit T1 Span dialog box opens.

2.On the General tab, specify the following information for the span:

n Span number. The sequence number of this Dialogic T1 board as installed in your Strata CS Server computer (the sequence number of the first T1 board is 1, not 0).

n Starting trunk number. The starting trunk number of the span. The numbers of the 24 trunks belonging to this span are displayed. If your system also has analog trunks, the analog trunks must have the lower trunk numbers, so if you have not added them yet, leave room for them in your numbering of the span.

n Wink duration. The length in milliseconds of the signal Strata CS sends to your T1 carrier to indicate that it is ready to receive digits. You can also set the wink duration using the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter.

n Send and receive. For T1 lines with ANI or DID/DNIS service only, the signaling type—DTMF or MF—used for inbound digit collection. You can also set this in the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter.

n Description. A description of the span, typically including the main phone number of the span.

3.On the Signaling tab, review the event definitions for your T1 trunk that you specified using the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter. The definitions must match your carrier’s definitions for the trunk to work. To change a definition, use the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter (see “Configuring signaling using the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter” on page 5-13).
