6.4.7Routing ISDN Trunks

To select a routing pattern for the ISDN trunks created in the previous section, users must access the Trunk Routing screen from the Configuration screen. Pressing “T” from the Menu of Actions will bring up the Trunk Routing screen. To add a new trunk routing pattern, users must press “A” from the Menu of Actions, which will bring up the screen shown as Figure 6-17.

Figure 6-17. Add Trunk Route Screen

The user should use the “right arrow” and “left arrow” keys to move the cursor through the eight sections (four D channels and four trunks) of the new trunk route. Press the <Enter> key to change each section. D channel numbers are changed with the “up arrow” and “down arrow” that scroll through numbers 1-8 (the maximum number of D channels per system). The user changes trunk letters by typing a capital letter from A-to O (the fifteen available trunk letters per D channel).

All eight fields must be changed for each new trunk route. For instance, if you want a single incoming trunk group to be routed to three outgoing trunk groups on three different D channels, the process is easy. In Figure 6-18the first trunk route shows this configuration. D channel #1, trunk group “A” is to be routed to D channel #2, trunk group “B.” If that route is busy, it will be routed to D channel #3, trunk group “C.” If that route is busy, it will be routed to D channel #4, trunk group “D.” If that route is busy, the unit will drop the call.
