ISDN trunk group
Issue 5 October 2002 941555-233-506
■ ISDN Trunk Group — Enter information in all the fields except the trunk
group members. When using ISDN-PRI interfaces, enter the members after
you establish the signaling links.
■ Signaling Group — This screen is required if ISDN-PRI interfaces are
used. Complete all fields. This screen identifies groups of ISDN-PRI DS1
interface B-channels for which a given D-channel (or D-channel pair) will
carry the associated signaling information (supports the Facility and
Non-Facility Associated Signaling feature). Each DS1 board that is
required to have a D-channel must be in a different signaling group by
itself (unless D-channel backup is needed, in which case a second DS1 is
administered as a backup D-channel). You are not required to select a
channel for a trunk group, but if you do, you must have already defined the
trunk group as type ISDN.
NOTE:
The following three screens, Processor Interface Data Module,
Communication Interface Links, and Communication Processor
Channel Assignment are used only to support the ISDN-PRI
interfaces using PI TN765.
■ Processor Interface Data Module — Use this screen only for a TN765.
Assign up to 8 interface links using 8 Processor Interface Data Module
screens for multi-carrier cabinet systems, and up to 4 links for
single-carrier cabinet systems. One Processor Interface Data Module
screen must be completed for each interface link to be assigned.
■ Communication Interface Links — Use this screen only for a TN765.
Assign link numbers 01 to 08 for a multi-carrier cabinet system or links 01
to 04 for a single-carrier cabinet system as required. When first
administering this screen in Avaya MultiVantage for ISDN, do not
administer the Enable field.
■ Communication Processor Channel Assignment — Use this screen only for
a TN765. Enter assigned link numbers and assign associated channel
numbers to each link. Complete all fields of the screen as required. When
first administering this screen in Avaya MultiVantage for ISDN, you need
to:
— First, administer the Interface Links screen, except the Enable field.
— Second, administer the ISDN fields on the Processor Channel
screen.
— Last, go back to the Interface Links screen and administer the
Enable field.
