Setting General Trunk Attributes
Select a channel to view its current attributes. You can then set or change the following
attributes. If an option is grayed out, it is not available for that type of trunk:
• Access Code—Assign a trunk access code to the selected trunk. If you need to use
a trunk access code other than 9, you must first set this up on the Number Plan
tab of System Configuration (see “Setting a System Number Plan” on page 35).
Note: Th
ere are two types of access code: Trunk Access Code (TAC) and Route
Access Code (RAC). TAC is a quick and easy way to select which trunk(s) you
would like to dial out from, especially when you want to reserve trunks for a
special dialing purpose. For example, you can set up TAC "7" and assign that
to trunk(s). These trunks will be reserved exclusively for users who know the
TAC "7".
Although TAC is easy to use, it does have limitations especially when you are
l
ocated in an area with a complicated dialing pattern or you need to set up
VoIP hop-off dialing.
RAC uses the Out Call Routing table, which has the flexibility to group trunks
i
nto a route, assign routes to a specific dialing pattern, and add/delete digits
from the dialing pattern. It can solve most of the complicated dialing
problems. If your system is using RAC, you can set this TAC field to "None".
• Area Code—The local area code for each trunk. Enter a three-digit area code. If left
blank, the trunk assumes the home area code defined in the General tab of the
System Configuration window. This configuration is for each trunk in the system and
will negatively affect features such as Zoomerang if the area code is not configured
properly.
• Direction—The trunk direction can be Outgoing only, Incoming only, or Both
Outgoing and Incoming. The Both option is the system default.
• Phone Number—Enter the number without area code in this field.
Trunk transmitting caller ID rules:
1. If extension has Transmitted CID configured, this number will be transmitted
first. If not configured, go to next.
2. If extension has DID Num
ber configured, the 10-digit DID number will be
transmitted. If not configured, go to next.
