Connecting an analog DID trunk

Last Updated : Apr 29, 2020 |

About this task

You can connect a DID trunk to Branch Gateway using one of the compatible ports.

The trunk analog telephone port on the Branch Gateway front panel forms a mechanical analog relay with the LINE port next to it. You can configure this relay to provide emergency transferred telephone service in the case of a power outage or disconnection from an external server. During an emergency situation, all incoming calls on the trunk are directed to the phone plugged into the LINE port. The phone also uses the trunk for outgoing calls.

Procedure

Connect the analog DID trunk to one of the following ports:
  • Any universal analog port on an MM711 media module.

  • Any analog line port on a punch-down block connected to an MM716 media module.

  • One of the line ports on an MM714 or MM714B media module.

  • The trunk port on the Branch Gateway front panel.
