## Assign Trunks

This dialog gives an overview about the system trunks and is also used to assign trunks. For more convenience, the Trunk Assignment consists of several dialogs:

- The System Trunk Assignment dialog shows all available trunks of the system.

- To open the dialog, click on the “Trunks” menu in the Configuration directory tree. This will open the context menu. Select “Assign trunks”.

- The Analogue Trunk Assignment dialog shows all analogue trunks of the system.

- To open the dialog, open the “Trunks” menu in the Configuration directory tree. Click on the “Analog” submenu to open the context menu, and select “Assign trunks”.

- The CAS Trunk Assignment dialog shows all CAS trunks of the system.

- To open the dialog, open the “Trunks” menu in the Configuration directory tree. Click on the “CAS” submenu to open the context menu, and select “Assign trunks”.

- The ISDN Trunk Assignment dialog shows all ISDN trunks of the system.

- To open the dialog, open the “Trunks” menu in the Configuration directory tree. Click on the “ISDN” submenu to open the context menu, and select “Assign trunks”.

- The IP Trunk Assignment dialog shows all IP trunks of the system.

- To open the dialog, open the “Trunks” menu in the Configuration directory tree. Click on the “IP” submenu to open the context menu, and select “Assign trunks”.

### Trunk details

For each trunk, the following information is available:

- Directory number
- Card position - The actual card position of the trunk
- Individual number - The actual individual number of the trunk. This number depends on the card (0-256)
- Link
- Type - The type of trunk (Analogue, CAS, ISDN, IP).

If you access the Trunk Assignment dialog from the context menu of a particular trunk type, only trunks of the selected type are displayed. For example, if you open the dialog with the Assign Trunk option of the Analogue submenu, the list shows analogue trunks only.

### Selecting a trunk

To assign a trunk, you have to select the trunk first. There are several ways how you can select a trunk:

- Select the trunk with the Directory Number drop-down list box. The selected number will automatically appear in the field on the right side.
- The Trunk Parameter dialog is displayed to configure the trunk. See section Trunk Parameter.

Or:

- Enter the trunk’s directory number directly in the Directory Number field on the right.
- Click on the Go to trunk link to open the Trunk Parameter dialog. This dialog allows you to configure the trunk. See sectionTrunk Parameter.

Or

- Select a Link Number in the drop-down list box.

### To assign a directory number and/or name

There are two parameters that you can assign to a single trunk:

5601 |  | Extension directory number

6501 |  | Directory Name

Note

For more information about a command, just click on the respective command link.

- To change the directory number and/or the directory name, just enter the changes directly in the Directory Number field or the Directory Name field in the Trunk Parameter dialog.
- Click on the Submit button below. The changes are transferred to the system. If the altered settings have been accepted, the directory name is written in upper case.

### Sort by DirNum / Sort by Card/Ind

There are two options how to sort the trunks in the list: by directory number or by card and individuals.

When you access the dialog the first time, you will see the Sort by DirNum button at the bottom of the window. This is a toggle button.

- Click on the Sort by DirNum button to sort all listed trunks by their directory number. The button’s labeling will change to “Sort by Card/Ind”.

Now you can use the same button to sort the trunks by card number and trunk type.

- Click on the Sort by Card/Ind button. After using this feature, the button changes again to “Sort by DirNum”.

### Assignment of a trunk series

You can assign a series of trunk numbers. Using this feature you can save a lot of time when setting up trunks for the first time or after major changes of the system.

Note

Your inputs are recorded and applied automatically to the dialog.

- Click on the Assign Series button at the bottom of the window. You are asked to define the start of the trunk number series.
- Click OK to close the message dialog.
- Select a directory number field of the first trunk and highlight the trunk number.
- Click on the Assign Series button. Now you are asked to define the end of the number series.
- Click OK to close the message dialog.
- Select the directory number field of the last trunk and highlight the trunk number.
- Click on Submit. The assigned trunk series is activated.

### Undo Changes

Even after you submitted your changes to the system, you can withdraw the last changes. You can correct your entries manually or use the integrated undo feature. This is extremely useful if you get a conflict message after you have submitted your changes to the system.

To undo your last changes:

- Click on the Undo DirNum Changes button. The dialog shows the settings before the last altering.
- Correct the conflicts and assign a new number series.
