Administered Connections

Administered Connections provides call initiation for wideband access endpoints (WAEs). All Administered Connections that originate from WAEs use the entire bandwidth that is administered for WAE. The destination of an Administered Connection can be a PRI endpoint.

Automatic Circuit Assurance (ACA)

ACA treats wideband calls as single-trunk calls so that a single ACA-referral call is made if an ACA-referral call is required. The call is on the lowest B-channel that is associated with the wideband call.

Call Coverage

A WAE cannot be administered as a coverage point in a call-coverage path.

Call Detail Recording (CDR)

When CDR is active for the trunk group, all wideband calls generate CDR records. The CDR feature flag indicates a data call, and CDR records contain bandwidth and Bearer Capability Class (BCC).

Call Forwarding

You must block Call Forwarding through Class of Service (COS).

Call Management System (CMS) and Basic Call Management System (BCMS)

Wideband calls can be carried over trunks that are measured by CMS and BCMS. Wideband endpoints are not measured by CMS and BCMS.

Call Vectoring

PRI endpoints use a vector directory number (VDN) to dial. For example, PRI endpoint 1001 dials VDN 500. VDN 500 points to Vector 1. Vector 1 can point to other PRI endpoints such as route-to 1002, or route-to 1003, or busy.

Certain applications use Call Vectoring. When an incoming wideband call hunts for an available wideband endpoint, the call can point to a VDN, that sends the call to the first available PRI endpoint.

Class of Restriction (COR)

COR identifies caller and called-party privileges for PRI endpoints. Administer the COR so that account codes are not required. Forced entry of account codes (FEAC) is turned off for wideband endpoints.

Class of Service (COS)

COS determines the class of features that a wideband endpoint can activate.

Facility Associated Signaling (FAS) and Non-Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS)

FAS and NFAS with or without D-Channel Backup requires administration by way of signaling groups for trunk-side wideband interfaces.

Facility Busy Indication

You can administer a busy-indicator button for a wideband-endpoint extension, but the button does not accurately track endpoint status.

Facility Test Calls

Use Facility Test Calls to perform loop-back testing of the wideband call facility.

Generalized Route Selection (GRS)

GRS supports wideband BCC to identify wideband calls. GRS searches a route pattern for a preference that has wideband BCC. Route preferences that support wideband BCC also support other BCCs for different call types to share the same trunk group.

CO Trunk (TTC - Japan) Circuit Pack

The CO Trunk (TTC - Japan) circuit pack cannot perform wideband switching. No member of the circuit pack should be a member of a wideband group.
