As an example, we will set up a new PCOL group and administer the group as a CO trunk for two-way voice traffic.
Procedure
Enter add personal-co-line next.
In the Group Type field, enter co.
This field specifies the kind of trunk group you’re creating. PCOL groups can be administered as CO, FX, or WATS trunks.
In the Group Name field, enter Outside calls.
This name will be displayed, along with the group number, for outgoing calls if you set the Outgoing Display field to y. You can type any name up to 27 characters long in this field. (You might want to put the telephone number here that’s assigned to this trunk.)
In the TAC field, enter 111.
This field defines a unique code that you or your users can dial to access this trunk group. The code also identifies this trunk group in call detail reports.
In the Trunk Type field, enter ground start.
This field tells the system what kind of signaling to use on this trunk group. To prevent glare, Avaya recommends ground start signaling for most two-way CO, FX, and WATS trunk groups.
In the Trunk Port field, enter 01D1901.
This is the port to which the trunk is connected.
In the Trunk Termination field, enter rc.
Use rc in this field when the distance to the central office or the server at the other end of the trunk is more than 3,000 feet. If you do not know the distance to your central office, check with your service provider.
In the Outgoing Dial Type field, enter tone.
This field tells Communication Manager how digits are to be transmitted for outgoing calls. Entering tone actually allows the trunk group to support both DTMF and rotary signals, so Avaya recommends that you always put tone in this field.
Select Enter to save your changes.
You assign telephones to a PCOL group by administering a CO Line button on each telephone. Once assigned, the Assigned Members page of the Personal CO Line Group screen displays member telephones:
