Digital PSTN
This section describes the configuration of the public switched telephone network (PSTN)
related parameters.
25.1 Configuring Trunk Settings
The Trunk Settings page allows you to configure the device's trunks. This includes
selecting the PSTN protocol and configuring related parameters.
This page also lets you perform the following maintenance procedures:
Taking a Trunk Out of Service:
Some parameters can be configured when the trunk
is in service, while others require you to take the trunk out of service. To take a trunk
out of service, click the
Stop Trunk
button. Once a trunk is "stopped", all current calls
are dropped and no new calls can be made on the trunk.
Deactivating an E1/T1 Trunk:
To deactivate a trunk, click the
Deactivate
button.
Deactivation temporarily disconnects (logically) the trunk from the PSTN network.
Upon trunk deactivation, the device generates an AIS alarm on the trunk to the far-
end. As a result, an RAI alarm signal may be received by the device. A subsequent
trunk activation, done by clicking the
Activate
button, reconnects the trunk to the
PSTN network and clears the AIS alarm. Trunk deactivation is typically used for
maintenance such as checking the trunk's physical integrity.
Creating a Loopback Line:
You can create (and remove) remote loopback for DS1
lines. This is done by clicking the
Create Loopback
button. To remove the loopback,
click the
Remove Loopback
button.
Note:
•
To delete a configured trunk, set the 'Protocol Type' parameter to
NONE
.
•
For a description of the trunk parameters, see PSTN Parameters on page 1134.
•
During trunk deactivation, you cannot configure trunks.
•
You cannot activate or deactivate a stopped trunk.
•
If the trunk can’t be stopped because it provides the device’s clock (assuming the
device is synchronized with the trunk clock), assign a different trunk to provide the
device’s clock or enable ‘TDM Bus PSTN Auto Clock’ in the TDM Bus Settings
page (see TDM and Timing on page 463).
•
If the ‘Protocol Type’ parameter is set to NONE (i.e., no protocol type is selected)
and no other trunks have been configured, after selecting a PRI protocol type you
must reset the device.
•
The displayed parameters depend on the protocol selected.
•
BRI trunks can operate with E1 or T1 trunks.
•
All PRI trunks of the device must be of the same line type (either E1 or T1).
However, different variants of the same line type can be configured on different
trunks. For example, E1 Euro ISDN and E1 CAS (subject to the constraints in the
device's Release Note).
•
The ISDN BRI North American variants (NI-2, DMS-100, and 5ESS) are partially
supported by the device. Please contact your AudioCodes sales representative
before implementing this protocol.
•
If the protocol type is CAS, you can assign or modify a dial plan (in the 'Dial Plan'
field) and perform this without stopping the trunk.
