Configuring One or Multiple Trunks
To customize trunk characteristics, you work on one trunk at a time. To
apply the same configuration to multiple trunks, use the Apply To…
button. This pops up a list of all trunks, with all of the trunks selected by
default. Deselect the trunks you don’t want to apply changes to, then click
OK. (Note that you cannot use the mouse to drag over and select multiple
items; you must use the Shift and Ctrl keys.) This applies changes to
multiple trunks for only the attribute or option that you changed.
Setting General Trunk Attributes
Select the channel to view its current attributes, as discussed in the previous
section. You can then set or change the following attributes. If an option is
grayed out, it is not available for that type of trunk:
Attribute Description
Access Code Access code to the selected trunk. If you need to use
access codes other than 9, you must first set this up on
the Number Plan window of System Configuration
(“Setting a System Number Plan” on page 5-4). This
option is not available for a DID trunk.
Note: It is recommended that you set this value to
“None” for trunks on 30-port VoIP boards.
This will prevent users from directly
accessing the 30-port boards—which use the
G.711 codec only—for calls to AltiServ
servers or other IP gateways that may require
the G.723 codec. If you still want users to
have access to this trunk for outgoing calls,
you can set it up through Outcall Routing (see
Chapter 9, Out Call Routing Configuration).
Area Code The local area code for each trunk. Enter a three-digit
area code. If left blank, the trunk assumes the home
area code defined in the General window of the
System Configuration window. This configuration is
for each trunk in the system and will negatively affect
features such as Zoomerang if the area code is not
configured properly. This is not available for a DID
trunk.
