If OmniTouch ACS is expected to provide clock on the trunks, then select
Internal Oscillator
.
If the
Clock Source
is
PSTN Network
, then the
Reference Trunk for Timing
value
controls which trunk supplies the timing clock for all Trunks connected to the server.
If the
Clock Source
is
Internal Oscillator
, then the
Reference Trunk for Timing
has
no effect.
The
Load Sharing Strategy
sets the algorithm for how outbound DS0’s are selected
by the server.
Sequential
uses the first available port, filling the first trunk, then filling the second
trunk, and so on. This strategy will use the fewest trunks possible for a call load. This is
the recommended setting for stacked configurations, because it is more efficient to
have an entire conference on a single server.
Round Robin
distributes outbound call legs, first to one trunk, then to the next trunk,
then to the third trunk, and so on. Using the
Round Robin
strategy distributes legs
evenly across all server trunks.
Note: Destination Number Plan
,
Destination Number Type
, and
Source Number
Type
can be left as
Unknown
. If further assistance with these fields is required,
contact your support representative.

The settings you select must be compatible with the settings of the T1/E1 trunk(s) to
which you are connecting the Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch Advanced
Communications Server (ACS). Contact your T1 service provider or PBX vendor if
you do not know these settings. See the Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch My Teamwork
Unified Conferencing and Collaboration Application Site Preparation Guide for a
complete list of available setting values.
The
Number of Channels
controls the number of DS0s that are available for voice
traffic. The
Number of Outbound Channels
controls the number of channels
available for outside dialing. For T1/CCS, this is 23 (maximum 184 ports per server).
For T1/CAS trunks, this is 24 (maximum 192 ports per server). For PRI or E1 trunks,
this is 30 (maximum 240 ports per server).
Network Termination
specifies whether this trunk is set up for UNI (user-side) or
NNI (network side) interfaces.
The
Audiocodes Board Serial Number
(TDM Network Interface Module) field
cannot be edited. It displays the serial number of the board that is located on the
server.
