Access Endpoint

Last Updated : Aug 21, 2014 |
Prolog information
Use the Access Endpoint screen to administer an access endpoint or a Wideband Access Endpoint (WAE).
WAE is an endpoint application connected to line-side non-ISDN T1 or E1 facilities. WAEs do not have signaling interface with the system. You can administer WAE only if Wideband Switching is enabled for the system.
An access endpoint is a nonsignaling trunk that neither responds to signaling nor generates signaling. You can use access endpoints to assign an extension number to a single trunk and eliminate the need to dedicate an entire trunk group for a single trunk. You can specify an access endpoint as the originator or the destination endpoint of an administered connection.
To change the value of the fields on the Access Endpoint screen, use the following command:
add access-endpoint next, where next is the next available extension.

Communication Type

Prolog information
Use this field to specify the communication type for the access endpoint.
Valid entry
Usage
For a DS1 access endpoint. You can use this option for the robbed-bit trunks. The default value is
For a DS1 access endpoint. Do not use this option for the robbed-bit trunks.
For an analog tie trunk access endpoint.
For a WAE.

COR

Prolog information
Use this field to assign a class of restriction (COR) number to the access endpoint. You must administer this field so that only an Administered Connection (AC) endpoint can be connected to another AC endpoint.

COS

Prolog information
Use this field to assign a class of service (COS) number to the access endpoint. You must administer this field so thatrestricts the use of the Call Forwarding All Calls feature on the access endpoint.

Extension

Prolog information
Use this field to assign an extension number to the nonsignaling trunk.

ITC

Prolog information
Use this field to assign a transmission facility to the access endpoint. The system displays this field only if the Communication Type field is set to
  • , or
  • Valid entry
    Usage
    Restricted transmission facilities are used to complete the call. Before using this option, ensure that the associated port of the access endpoint is a channel of a DS1 media module and the Line Coding field of the DS1 media module is set to B8ZS. The default value is
    Unrestricted transmission facilities are used to complete the call.

    Name

    Prolog information
    Use this field to provide a name for the access endpoint.

    (Starting) Port

    Prolog information
    Use this field to assign a port number to the access endpoint.
    You can assign the port number by using one the following formats:
    • gateway number : module number : port number
      Valid entry
      Usage
      The first three characters represent the gateway number.
      The fourth and fifth characters represent the module number.
      The sixth and seventh characters represent the port number.

    TN

    Prolog information
    Use this field to assign a tenant number to the access endpoint. You can enter a value from
  • .
  • Width

    Prolog information
    The system displays this field only if the Communication Type field is set to
  • to
  • .
