TR-LN-BD (Trunk Line Board)
The TN797 Analog Trunk and Line circuit pack provides 8 ports, any of which may
be administered as one of the following:
In the U.S., Canada, and like countries, every CO trunk port of TN797 Analog
Trunk and Line circuit packs should be administered as GS (ground-start) trunks
rather than as loop-start trunks, because GS signaling provides disconnect
supervision, and loop start does not. If for some reason, a port on the TN797
must be administered as loop start, it must be administered as 1-way only – either
incoming or outgoing – not only at the S8700 Multi-Connect switch, but also at the
CO switch. This is necessary to avoid collisions (i.e., “glare”) and other highly
undesirable conditions.
The TN797 Analog Trunk and Line circuit pack does not support Neon Lamp MWI
(Message Waiting Indication). No maintenance of the terminal connected to the
Neon Analog Line circuit pack is performed.
