372 Communication Manager Guide to ACD Call Centers

The ds1-id and ds1-sa types provide a forward disconnect via transitions of the “A” 
signaling bit to the device, which indicates when playback should be stopped. Callers 
listening to announcements do not hear clicks when the device disconnects (goes on-
hook).

ds1-fd

The ds1-fd announcement type provides an EIA/TIA foreign-exchange (FX) type DS1 
interface. The forward disconnect signal is a toggle of the “A” bit from 0 to 1 and then back 
to 0 after 600 msecs. This type is used for Conversant Line Side T1 ports when they are 
used as an analog-like announcement device and is the recommended method for 
interfacing.

ds1-sa

The ds1-sa announcement type provides an EIA/TIA special-access type DS1 interface. 
The forward disconnect signal is a toggle of the “A” bit from 1 to 0 and then back to 1 after 
600 msecs.

ds1-ops

The ds1-ops announcement type provides an EIA/TIA off-premises-station type DS1 
interface that is used when the device does not support forward disconnect.

Auxiliary trunk types

The Auxiliary Trunk announcement type supports an external announcement machine 
connected via a 4-wire auxiliary trunk interface, such as a 15A announcement system. The 
switch indicates to the device to start or stop the playback on the S lead; the device 
indicates that the playback is active on the S1 lead.

aux-trunk

Use the aux-trunk (auxiliary trunk) announcement type with a 4-wire interface external 
device when the playback is to be stopped and started by way of the S1 lead and S1 is 
used by the device to indicate playback started.

aux-trk-m

Use the aux-trk-m (auxiliary trunk music) with a 4-wire interface device for continuously 
playing music or audio sources that do not indicate that playback is active on the S1 lead. 
This announcement type is used when the

 Q 

field is set to b to provide barge-in repeating 

or continuous-play announcements
