At an SBS Tandem Node executing status trunk on an SBS trunk member will show that the trunk is in-service/active. However, the Connected Ports and SBS Associated Port fields will be blank. This should not be misinterpreted as a hung trunk. The associated bearer call will most likely route entirely through the PSTN. Even if the associated SBS bearer call routes through the SBS Tandem Node, that node will have no way of associating the SBS signaling and SBS bearer calls. Association of the signaling and bearer calls can only be accomplished at the SBS Originating and SBS Terminating Nodes.
