As an example, we will add a two-way tie trunk group that supports voice and voice-grade data. We’re adding trunk group 5.
Procedure
Enter add trunk-group next.
In the Group Type field, enter tie.
This field specifies the kind of trunk group you’re creating.
In the Groncup 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.
In the COR field, enter 85.
This field controls which users can make or receive calls over this trunk group. Assign a class of restriction that’s appropriate for the COR calling permissions administered on your system.
In the TAC field, enter 105.
This field defines a unique code users can dial to access this trunk group.
In the Direction field, enter two-way.
This field defines the direction of traffic flow on this trunk group.
In the Night Service field, enter 1234.
This field assigns an extension to which calls are routed outside of business hours.
In the Comm Type field, enter voice.
This field defines whether a trunk group can carry voice, data, or both. Analog trunks only carry voice and voice-grade data. If you’re administering a T1 connection in North America, enter rbavd in this field.
In the Trunk Type field, enter wink/wink.
This field tells the system what kind of signaling to use on this trunk group. Because we’re receiving and sending digits over this trunk group, we’re using wink/wink signaling to minimize the chance of losing part of the digit string in either direction.
Enter tone in both the Outgoing Dial Type and Incoming Dial Type fields.
These fields tell Communication Manager how digits are transmitted for incoming 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.
Now you’re ready to add trunks to this trunk group. See Adding trunks to a trunk group example.
