There’s more to removing a trunk group than just executing the remove trunk-group command. If you’re using Automatic Route Selection (ARS), you must remove an outgoing or two-way trunk group from any route patterns that use it. If you’ve administered Trunk-Group Night Service buttons for the trunk group on any telephones, those buttons must be removed or assigned to another trunk group.
As an example, we will remove trunk group 5. This two-way group is used in ARS route pattern 2. In addition, a Trunk-Group Night Service button on extension 8410 points to this group.
  1. In the Route Pattern screen for route pattern 2, clear the entries for trunk group 5.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    If you’re replacing trunk group 5 with another trunk group, just type the information for the new trunk group over the old entries. Remember to press Enter to save your changes.
  2. In the Station screen for extension 8410, clear the entry in the BUTTON ASSIGNMENTS field for the Trunk-Group Night Service button.
  3. Select Enter to save your changes.
  4. In the Group Member Assignments screen for trunk group 5, remove all member trunks from the group.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    See Adding trunks to a trunk group example for instructions.
  5. Enter remove trunk-group 5.
  6. Select Enter to remove the trunk group.
