Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and T1
Personal Lines
A personal line can be assigned to an extension to represent a PRI line
with routing by dial plan. The green LED associated with the personal line
lights steadily, and ringing on an SA button occurs; the LED does not
flash to indicate that a line/trunk is ringing.
A personal line can be assigned on a voice telephone for monitoring the
status of that data line; however, users
must not
use the personal line to
attempt to complete a call.
Pools
Data lines (especially T1 data) should not be put in the same pool as
voice lines. System alarms eventually result if voice extensions try to
access data lines.
Queued Call
Console
Data lines should not be programmed to terminate in the Queued Call
Console.
Remote Access
A PRI line that has been programmed for routing by dial plan should not
be programmed for remote access.
Ringing Options
Digital data calls do not receive distinctive ringing or Ring Timing options.
System Access/
Intercom Buttons
T1 lines must not be shared between voice and data extensions with
Shared SA buttons. The lines are programmed for either voice-only or
data-only service.
SMDR
The line/trunk number of a PRI line is shown in the LINE field of the
SMDR report. The restriction code for the FTS2000 network is shown in
the ACCOUNT field.
Call timing begins when the PRI line is selected. The Called Number field
shows the number dialed by the user before any digits are manipulated by
ARS or PRI tables (Network Selection Table, Special Services Selection
Table, or Call-by-Call Services Table). In Release 2.1 and later systems,
call timing begins when the call is answered at the far end. Therefore,
calls that are not answered do not create an SMDR call record.
If the SMDR feature is not enabled to record incoming calls, the system
does not accept Account Code Entry information for these calls.
Transfer
For trunk-to-trunk transfer with no extension number involved, the Calling
Party Number for the outbound call is the programmed base number.
Data calls cannot be transferred.
