TIE-DS1 (DS1 Tie Trunk)
The DS1 tie trunk provides both voice and data inter-PBX communication. A 24
channel DS1 Interface circuit pack can support up to 24 digital tie trunks through a
1.544 Mbps DS1 link. A 32 channel DS1 Interface circuit pack can support up to
30 digital tie trunks through a 2.048 Mbps DS1 link. DS1 Interface circuit packs
are described in DS1-BD. DS1 Tie Trunks are used widely in the DCS and Central
Attendant Service (CAS) features of the system.
A DS1 tie trunk can also be used as an access endpoint which is a non-signaling
channel with a bandwidth of voice-grade-data, 56K-data or 64K-data.
DS1 tie trunk maintenance provides a strategy to maintain a DS1 tie trunk via a
port on the DS1 Interface circuit pack. The maintenance strategy covers logging
DS1 tie trunk hardware errors, running tests for trunk initialization, periodic and
scheduled maintenance, system technician-demanded tests, and alarm
escalation and resolution. Three different trunk service states are specified in the
DS1 tie trunk maintenance. They are: out-of-service in which the trunk is in a
deactivated state and cannot be used for either incoming or outgoing calls;
in-service in which the trunk is in an activated state and can be used for both
incoming and outgoing calls; disconnect (ready-for-service) in which the trunk is in
an activated state but can only be used for an incoming call. If the DS1 Interface
circuit pack is out-of-service, all trunks on the DS1 Interface circuit pack are
placed into out-of-service state, and a Warning alarm is raised.

by the set options command and that at least 75 percent of the trunks in this trunk
group are alarmed.
