Specify whether or not you want the
trunk
to be cascadable.
A
, t r u n k
can be
cascaded by positioning the cursor in the "Cas" column and pressing the
SPACE
BAR to place a check mark
in
the column. Cascading provides a means for two
intercom systems to communicate with each other even when there is no
interconnecting
trunk
line.
If
both intercom systems have
trunk
lines to other
intercom systems, the
trunks
may be cascaded through the other intercom systems
as required to provide a communication path. An example of the use of cascaded
trunks
is shown
in
Figure
2-9.
Note that matrix
has no direct connection to
matrix
however, a path can be "cascaded" through matrix
and matrix
"HUB" to provide communication between matrix "TGB" and matrix
"JFY". If
the
cascade flag was not set for any one of the matrices shown, no communication
would be possible between the two end points. One drawback of cascading is that
multiple
trunks
are required to support a single conversation.
