Subnet Trunking

Modifies the number you dial so an AAR or ARS call can route over different trunk groups

that may terminate in switches with different dial plans. Subnet Trunking inserts digits,

deletes digits, pauses, and/or waits for dial tone in digit outpulsing, as required, so calls

route:

■ To or through a remote switch

■ Over Tie trunks to a private network switch

■ Over CO trunks to the serving CO

Subnet Trunking is required on calls routing to or through a remote switch, regardless of

the call’s destination.

Extension Number Portability

Gives you the ability to assign any extension to any system in a subnetwork. Stations can

be moved across systems while retaining the original extension number, as long as the

systems are part of a defined subnetwork. This feature is used in conjunction with

Automatic Alternate Routing and Uniform Dial Plan.

Alarm Assignments

Alternate Operations Support System Alarm

Number

Allows you to establish a second number for the DEFINITY ECS to call when an

alarmable event occurs. This feature is useful for alerting a second support organization,

such as INADS or OneVision.

External Device Alarming

Allows you to assign analog ports to alarm interfaces for external devices. You can

specify a port location, information to identify the external device, and the alarm level to

report when a contact closure occurs.
