Line | Channels (T1)

The settings for each channel can be edited. Users have the option of editing individual channels by double-clicking on the channel or selecting and editing multiple channels at the same time. Note that the Line Appearance ID cannot be updated when editing multiple channels.

When editing a channel or channels, the settings available are displayed on two sub-tabs; T1 Edit Channel and Timers.  

Settings

T1 Edit Channel Sub-Tab Settings

• Channel
  Allocated by the system.

• Incoming Group ID: Default = 0, Range 0 to 99999.
  The Incoming Group ID to which a line belongs is used to match it to incoming call routes in the IP Office configuration. The matching incoming call route is then used to route incoming calls. The same ID can be used for multiple lines.

• Outgoing Group ID: Default = 0, Range 0 to 99999.
  Short codes that specify a number to dial also specify the line group to be used. The IP Office will then seize a line with a matching Outgoing Group ID. The same ID can be used for multiple lines.

• Line Appearance ID: Default = Blank, Range = 2 to 9 digits.
  [2.1 ][3.0DT ][3.0 ][3.1 ][3.2 ]
  Used for configuring Line Appearances with button programming. The line appearance ID must be unique and not match any extension number. Line appearance is not supported for trunks set to QSIG operation and is not recommended for trunks be used for DID.

• Direction: Default = Bothway
  The direction of calls on the channel (Incoming, Outgoing or Bothway).

• Bearer: Default = Voice
  The type of traffic carried by the channel.

• Type: Default = Ground-Start
  The T1 emulates the following connections (Ground-Start, Loop-Start, E&M - TIE, E&M - DID,E&M Switched 56K, Direct Inward Dial, Clear Channel 64K or Out of Service).  Trunks set to E&M DID will only accept incoming calls.

• • If E&M-TIE is selected and the Outgoing Trunk Type is set to Automatic, no secondary dial tone is provided for outgoing calls on this line/trunk.

• Dial Type: Default = DTMF Dial
  Select the dialing method required (DTMF Dial or Pulse Dial).

• Incoming Trunk Type: Default = Wink-Start
  Used for E&M types only. The handshake method for incoming calls (Automatic, Immediate, Delay Dial or Wink-Start).

• Outgoing Trunk Type: Default = Wink-Start
  Used for E&M types only. The handshake method for outgoing calls (Automatic, Immediate, Delay Dial or Wink-Start).

• • If the line Type is set to E&M-TIE and the Outgoing Trunk Type is set to Automatic, no secondary dial tone is provided for outgoing calls on this line/trunk.

• Tx Gain: Default = 0dB
  The transmit gain in dB.

• Rx Gain: Default = 0dB
  The receive gain in dB.

Timers Sub-Tab Settings
This sub-tab allows various timers relating to operation of an individual channel to be adjusted. These should only be adjusted to match the requirements of the line provider.The following is just a list of the default values.   

Line | Short Codes

Line short codes can be applied to the digits received with incoming call. The stage at which they are applied also varies depending on the trunk type. See Line Short Codes in the Short Codes section.

• IP Trunks
  Line short codes are used if Small Community Networking (SCN) is not being used or no SCN user extension match occurs on the digits received. If no line short code match occurs then normal incoming call routing is applied.

• E1 and BRI ETSI Trunks
  These types of trunks use line short codes immediately. If no short code match occurs then normal incoming call routing is applied.

• QSIG and SO Trunks
  S0 trunks, and E1 and T1 trunks set to QSIG mode, use line short code if the digits received do not match an internal extension number. These types of trunk do not use incoming call routing.

Short codes can be added and edited using the Add, Remove and Edit buttons. Alternatively you can right-click on the list of existing short code to add and edit short codes.
