Basic Trunking Trunks are connections between two switching


systems such as a CO to a PBX or a PBX to another

Typically, external connections to a PBX are called


trunks.

Lines are connections between switching systems and


termination points.

PBX. The PBX is capable of switching the call to any


answer point.

An example would be a Central Office (CO) and a


residential phone. The CO switches incoming calls
from the network to the residential line. The
residential phone terminates the call.

7-3
3300 ICP Primer

Incoming Trunks
Outgoing Trunks
There are two types of Incoming Trunks; Dial-In and
Non Dial-In. Dial-In trunks send destination
information with the incoming call set-up. The most
common type is a Direct Inward Dial (DID) trunk.
This type of trunk receives digits to tell the system
what answer point to call.

Non Dial-In trunks only signal an incoming call and


do not send any destination information. The system
must be programmed with an answer point for all
incoming calls on these trunks.

The trunks are programmed into Trunk Groups to


allow the user to make outgoing trunk calls.

7-4 07_TRUNKING.doc

Trunk Technologies

Trunks use various transmission technologies, most


commonly -- analog, digital, and IP Networking.

3300 ICP Primer

Direct Inward Dial (DID) trunks are Dial-In trunks


Analog Trunking connecting the CO and the 3300 ICP.

The analog trunks commonly used to connect the


3300 ICP to a CO are Loop Start (LS), Ground Start
(GS), and Loop Start /Custom Local Area Signaling
System (LS/CLASS). These are Non Dial-In trunks
programmed with an answer point.

E & M and Loop Tie trunks are used to connect two


PBX systems together in a Private Network
arrangement.

LS/CLASS trunks receive the CLASS information as


modem tones during the ring cycle. This information
could be the calling number, calling name, or
possibly both depending on the availability of this
information on a per call basis.

These trunks permit users on one system to dial the


extension numbers of users on another system. The
trunk connecting the two systems together forwards
the digits the caller dialed to the destination system.
The destination system connects the incoming trunk
to the extension the caller dialed.

7-6 07_TRUNKING.doc
Trunking

Digital Trunking
Digital links generally come in two formats, T1 and
E1. T1 links provide 24 64 Kbps digital channels,
while E1 links provide 32 64 Kbps channels.

The T1/D4 protocol provides one trunk per channel


for 24 trunks. A bit within each channel is used for
signaling information. This is known as Channel
Associated Signaling (CAS).

T1/DS1 provides 23 channels for data information


channels (or trunks) and the remaining channel is
used for signaling information. This is known as
Common Channel Signaling (CCS).

In Europe, E1 links provide 32 channels. These are


divided into 30 channels for use as trunks with two
channels used for trunk signaling information.

Primary Rate Interface (PRI) provides 23 Bearer (B)


channels and one Data (D) signaling channel. This is
known as 23B+D.

In Europe, PRI includes 30 B channels and two D


channels, equivalent to an E1 link.

7-7
3300 ICP Primer

Private IP Networking
Devices on 3300 ICP systems can communicate over
a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network
(WAN). This is a private network arrangement.

When a call is made to a remote 3300 ICP, the local


controller contacts the remote controller.

The two controllers use call setup messages to


exchange the IP addresses of the end-points of the
call.

Each controller then provides its local device with the


IP address of the remote device.

Voice data now streams between the two end points


of the call.

needs is Hotel/Motel. Typically a Hotel does not require
all available features, and may only select features
which can be used to:

ƒ Check guests in and out

ƒ Provide automatic wake up calls

ƒ Take messages

Another configuration to meet specific business needs is

Classes of Restriction (COR) control who may and may


not make calls. For example:

ƒ COR 1 could be created for those who are


restricted from making any external calls

ƒ COR 2 for those who are permitted to make


external calls but are restricted from making
long distance calls

ƒ COR 3 for those who are permitted to make


both local and long distance calls.

These classes of restriction are assigned to users


phones in the System. Following this plan, those with
COR 1 and 2 are prevented from making long distance
calls. Those with COR 3 are allowed to complete long
distance calls.

For route 5, a COR group is created that includes all


COR numbers not allowed to place long distance calls.
COR 1 is included in this group. This is for callers
restricted from making external calls. COR 2 includes
those callers not permitted to make long distance calls.

system allows the call to continue.
The route also controls which trunk the call goes over.
First, the system’s trunks are programmed into groups
that serve specific purposes. Each route is assigned one
of the trunk groups. Calls to route 5 will use this group

Emergency Call Handling When the system detects an emergency call, it


generates a maintenance log that identifies the
extension number of the set that placed the emergency
call.
The 3300 ICP supports Emergency Call Handling.
Emergency digits, such as 911, and 8888, (or 999 and
112 in Europe) are programmed in Automatic Route
Selection (ARS) to ensure that emergency calls are
never blocked.

An audible and visual alarm is generated at attendant


consoles and designated display sets when a user
places an emergency call. The alarm displays the user's
extension number and location. For example,
“Extension 2056, Room 212” may display. With this
information, the person receiving the alarm notification
can provide immediate assistance or direct emergency
services, such as police or ambulance personnel, to the
extension where the call originated.

Features & Applications

Hunt Groups can be programmed with special functions


that modify the way a call is presented or connected to
the group including:

ƒ Voice

ƒ Recorded Announcement Device (RAD)

ƒ Voice Mail

ƒ Recorder

ƒ Emergency

For example, “Voice” tells the system to provide a two-


way voice path when it connects a caller to a group
member such as an agent, while “RAD” instructs the
system to provide a listen-only connection between the
caller and a group member – in this case RADs which
play a message to callers when members of the hunt
group are busy, in Do Not Disturb or when they fail to
answer the call. This tends to keep the caller on the line
and allows fewer hunt group members to answer more
callers.

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) With ACD, call paths direct inbound callers to agent
groups. If the primary agent group is busy, the call path

Center environment. ACD sends a call to the first
available answering position. If all positions are busy
the caller is placed in a queue. ACD plays a recorded
message or music to entertain the caller until an
answering position becomes available.

8 - 18 08_FEAT_APP.doc
Features & Applications

A company may wish to answer some calls before


others. For instance, inbound 1-800 calls are more
expensive for the call center than inbound local calls. To
reduce the expensive wait time on 1- 800 calls, the 1-
800 calls can be directed to a high priority call path and
local calls to a lower priority call path.

If local calls are waiting in an agent queue and a 1-800


call arrives in the same queue, the system places the 1-
800 call ahead of lower priority local calls. The reduced
waiting time on 1-800 calls translates into reduced
communication costs for the Call Center.

behavior of all phones and trunks
connected to the system.

ƒ Time Division Multiplex (TDM)


Switching Matrix: The TDM switching
matrix provides speech paths for non-IP

IP Boot Processes

IP Phone Bootup Process The IP device issues a DHCP request that is answered
by a DHCP server.

When an IP phone boots, it begins life as an IP device


looking for an IP Address from a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server

DHCP servers have a range of IP addresses and DHCP


options they send to IP devices

An IP phone needs Option 125 – Vendor Specific


parameters that contains:

• Identifier (id): ipphone.mitel.com In response to the DHCP request, the DHCP server
• TFTP Server Address (sw_tftp): 192.168.1.2 sends an IP address and the DHCP options to the IP
device.
• Call Server Address (call_srv): 192.168.1.2

IP Boot Processes

“vlan=300” of Option 125 identifies the VLAN the IP


phone should boot on and l2p=6 identifies the layer 2
priority it should use when sending its voice packets.

In a voice and data network with segregated Virtual


Local Area Networks (VLANs) the network DHCP server
sends the IP phone:

• An IP Address

• Option 125 with


id: ipphone.mitel.com;

E2T Bootup Process for the • Option 67 – The name of the E2T boot file

3300 ICP MXe and LX

The 3300 ICP MXe (LX mode) and the LX have a


second processor card within the controller. This card
provides the Ethernet to TDM (E2T) function. The E2T
card requires it’s own IP address and follows a DHCP
bootup sequence.

The E2T downloads its boot file specified in DHCP


option 67, from the TFTP server identified in option 66.

When the 3300 ICP LX boots, the network DHCP


server sends the E2T card:

• A reserved IP Address

• Option 66 – The location of the E2T boot file

The DHCP server is programmed to reserve an IP


address for the E2T card using the E2T card’s Media
Access Control (MAC) address. A reserved IP address
ensures that the E2T card always receives the same IP
address at bootup.

Configuring 3300 RTC IP settings

To connect your 3300 ICP Controller to the Local Area


Network (LAN), you will need to obtain and then
program a number of LAN settings for your controller.
These settings include the IP address of the 3300 Real
Time Complex (RTC), Gateway, and Domain Name
Server (DNS) information.

The IP phones will need to register with the 3300 RTC.


Therefore, the 3300 RTC must have a known IP
address. To do this you will assign a static IP address
to the 3300 RTC.

The system uses DNS addresses to access the

elements, SIP messages, and SIP message flow.
SIP is a signaling protocol for controlling multi-media
