Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and T1
Callback
Callback cannot be used to request a busy PRI line assigned as a
personal line, but PRI lines in a pool are eligible for Callback. An idle PRI
line is not considered an available pool member unless a check
determines that it is associated with an available B-channel. Even if a
B-channel is available when the pool selects a line for a callback call,
there may be none available when it is time to send a setup message to
the network. Or, after the setup message is sent, the network may
determine that the B-channel proposed by the system is not available. In
either case, the call fails and a fast busy tone is applied.
Some applications (such as desktop video systems) that use data lines
may work improperly when releasing data facilities requested by
Callback.
Camp-On
The system does not support Camp-On onto data calls.
Conference
The system does not support conferencing onto data calls.
Coverage
Data calls do not follow coverage delay settings. All data calls ring
immediately.
Calling Restrictions
Outward and toll restrictions do not work with T1 lines emulating tie trunks
when the lines are set to Tie-PBX or Tie Switched 56 Data. Use
Automatic Route Selection or pool dial-out codes instead.
Forward and
Follow Me
A PRI line that has been programmed for routing by dial plan cannot have
Remote Call Forwarding allowed. A T1 Switched 56 line cannot be used
for Remote Call Forwarding.
Group Calling
A PRI line that is a member of a B-channel group programmed for routing
by dial plan should not belong to a calling group. A line that is part of a
B-channel group included in a calling group should not be programmed
for routing by dial plan.
HFAI
Incoming calls on a line that is a member of a B-channel group
programmed for routing by dial plan are not eligible for answer by
Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI).
Hold
Data calls cannot be placed on hold.
Music On Hold
Music on Hold cannot be used with data calls.
Night Service
A PRI B-channel can be assigned to a Night Service group (Release 4.1
and later systems only) if its B-channel group has been programmed for
routing by line appearance. If the Routing by Dial Plan option has been
selected for a PRI B-channel group, its lines cannot be assigned to a
Night Service group.
Paging
If the extension for an incoming call matches a group paging extension,
the call is treated as an unassigned Direct Inward Dial (DID) call.
Data lines cannot be used for paging.
