Programming Procedures
Trunks to Pools Assignment
NOTE:
This procedure applies in the Hybrid/PBX mode only
Use this procedure to create pools (groups of outside trunks connected to the
system). Pools are used to specify preferred routes for Automatic Route
Selection. In addition, pools enable users to select a trunk by dialing a pool
dial-out code or by pressing a single button on the telephone, (A separate
button for each trunk is not needed. ) Each pool should contain trunks of the
same type (for example, loop- or ground-start or WATS); however, ground- and
loop-start trunks of the same type can be included in the same pool. Ground-
start trunks must be manually assigned. A maximum of 11 pools is allowed; a
trunk can be assigned to only one pool.
Do not mix different bands of WATS trunks or FX lines to different cities. Do not
include both incoming only and outgoing only trunks in a pool.
If you want to reassign a trunk to a different pool, you must remove it from the
current pool before you assign it to the new pool. Once you assign a trunk to a
pool, it can be assigned to a button only on a direct-line console operator
position; individual lines intended for personal use on telephones other than the
DLC console should not be assigned to pools.
DID trunks and/or trunks used for paging loudspeakers, Music-on-Hold, or
maintenance alarms cannot be grouped in pools. Any such trunks that are loop
start are automatically placed in pools and must be manually removed.
Dial-in tie trunks should not be grouped in pools if you intend to assign pool
buttons on telephones.
If you are using Automatic Route Selection, the main pool (factory set dial-out
code 70) must contain loop- or ground-start lines.
The system provides an error tone when a trunk is in use or if a loudspeaker
paging system, Music-on-Hold, or Maintenance Alarm is already assigned;
however, the system does not indicate the reason for the error tone.
