Commands within TRUNKS.CUS
The trunks.cus configuration file is used for Statistics and special applications. The trunk 
options are used to set or select various options for trunks. These trunk options are those 
that concern only Central software, and should not be in oparam.cds, as they do not affect 
the trunk cards. After each option is set to a value or state, that state remains in effect for 
all following selected trunks, until it is changed with another command for that option.
Version 310 Note
The “Security”, “Supergroup”, and “Destinations” commands are new in V310 ZPAGE. 
The “Priority” command has several new settings, “Break” and “Next”, in order to support 
the new station code high priority settings. The “Channel” and “Zone” commands are 
active only when running version 310 ZPAGE with a version 300 database file.
AllowPrompt
Voice and tone prompts may be disabled and enabled on a trunk by trunk basis with the 
AllowPrompt command. Normally both prompt types are active, however at times it is 
useful to disable one or both types. Disabling voice prompts can useful when a line is used 
by people familiar with the paging terminal, and it is desired to reduce the time from the 
start of the call until the point paging information is being entered. A local telephone “hot 
line” is one example where this might be useful. Normally one type of prompt would be 
left enabled, an exception would be if trunks are connected to the Zetron Model 103, in 
this case neither voice nor tone prompts are enabled. 
 ALLOWPROMPT TONE ; allow tone prompts only (e.g., M103)
 ALLOWPROMPT VOICE ; allow voice prompts only 
 ALLOWPROMPT TONE VOICE ; allow both tone and voice
 ALLOWPROMPT BOTH ; allow both tone and voice
 ALLOWPROMPT NONE ; disable all prompts
 ALLOWPROMPT TONEREC ; used with VOICE, means to play tone
 ; prompts instead of voice prompts when
 ; voice is to be recorded.
In version 310j0, two new keywords have been added to the AllowPrompt command in 
trunks.cus. The first keyword, ETE, enables the end-to-end overdial prompt to play even if 
voice prompts are disabled. Conversely, the NoETE keyword disables the end-to-end 
overdial prompt even if the voice prompts are enabled.
The following examples of the new keywords show appropriate format and some possible 
applications:
 AllowPrompt Both NoETE ; the end-to-end prompt will not be played
 AllowPrompt Voice NoETE ; the end-to-end prompt will not be played
 AllowPrompt Tone ETE ; tone-only prompts except for the ETE prompt
The end-to-end prompt is normally played for end-to-end lines, DID overdial calls, and 
call recycled calls. It says, “enter the pager number now”. 
The ETE keyword has an alternate use in options.cus. It can call out a file to be used in 
place of the “sys_end_end” file for the end-to-end prompt. This allows you to play unique 
end-to-end overdial prompts on different trunks.
