Creating a trunk group for H.323 trunks

Last Updated : Sep 21, 2016 |

About this task

Use this procedure to create a new trunk group for H.323 trunks. Each H.323 trunk must be a member of an ISDN trunk group and associated with an H.323 signaling group.

Note:

The following steps address only those fields that are specifically related to H.323 trunks. For information about the other fields, see Administering Avaya Aura® Communication Manager.

Procedure

  1. Type add trunk-group next.

    The system displays the Trunk Group screen.

  2. In the Group Type field, type isdn.
  3. In the Carrier Medium field, type H.323.
  4. In the Service Type field, type tie.
  5. In the TestCall ITC field, type unre.
  6. In the TestCall BCC field, type 0.
  7. In the Codeset to Send Display field, type 0.
  8. if the far end comprises non-Avaya endpoints, change the Outgoing Display field.
  9. Go to the Trunk Features page of the screen.
  10. Verify the values in the Send Name, Send Calling Number, and Send Connected Number fields.

    If these fields contain y, the system accesses the ISDN Numbering - Public/Unknown Format screen or the ISDN Numbering - Private screen based on the Format field. The system uses information from these screens to construct the actual number to be sent to the far end.

  11. To add a second signaling group, go to the Group Member Assignments page of this screen.
    Note:

    Each signaling group can support up to 31 trunks. For more trunks between two switches, add a second signaling group with different listen ports. Add the trunks to the existing or second trunk group.

  12. In the Port field, type ip.

    When the screen is submitted, this value is automatically changed to a T number.

  13. In the Name field, type a 10-character name to identify the trunk.
  14. In the Sig Grp field, type the number for the signaling group associated with this H.323 trunk.
