Administrator’s Guide for Avaya Communication Manager
November 2003
Instructions
As an example, we will set up a new PCOL group and administer the group as a CO trunk for two-way
voice traffic.
To add the new PCOL group:
1
Type add personal-co-line next and press
ENTER
.
The Personal CO Line Group screen appears.
2
In the
Group Type
field, type co.
This field specifies the kind of trunk group you’re creating. PCOL groups can be administered as
CO, FX, or WATS trunks.
3
In the
Group Name
field, type Outside calls.
This name will be displayed, along with the group number, for outgoing calls if you set the
Outgoing Display?
field to y. You can type any name up to 27 characters long in this field. (You
may want to put the phone number here that’s assigned to this trunk.)
4
In the
TAC
field, type 111.
This field defines a unique code that you or your users can dial to access this trunk group. The
code also identifies this trunk group in call detail reports.
5
In the
Trunk Type
field, type ground start.
This field tells the system what kind of signaling to use on this trunk group. To prevent glare,
Avaya recommends ground start signaling for most two-way CO, FX, and WATS trunk groups.
6
In the
Trunk Port
field, type 01D1901.
This is the port to which the trunk is connected.
7
In the
Trunk Termination
field, type rc.
Use rc in this field when the distance to the central office or the media server at the other end of
the trunk is more than 3,000 feet. Check with your service provider if you’re not sure of the
distance to your central office.
