## Trunk

## Definition

A trunk (tie-line) is a physical connection between ASB 150 02 and an external switching environment.

Trunks can be of type “analogue” or “digital”.

Trunks are used particularly for:

- Interworking with the public exchange (trunk)
- Interworking with other PBX (tie-line)

### Analogue trunks

Analogue trunks (four-eight line units per board) are used mainly for connection to old, analogue public exchanges.

Analogue trunks are also used for the connection of external paging equipment and music sources.

To minimise distortion on lines due to impedance mismatches the feature Automatic Trunk Impedance Adaption (ATIA) can be enabled via BMS for each trunk and tie line. This function adapts to the best possible impedance balance automatically.

See further under “Programming” of the ATIA feature.

The following analogue trunks are supported by ASB 150 02:

- BTU-A trunk (4-8 lines)
- BTU-A2 trunk (4-8 lines)
- BTU-C trunk (4 lines)
- BTU-E trunk (4 lines)

### Digital trunks

Digital trunks are used for connection to modern, digital public exchanges.

Digital (ISDN) trunks are also used for frame relayed data call connections to packet mode terminals.

The following digital trunks are supported by ASB 150 02

- 2Mb/s CAS trunk (1x30 B-channels)
- 2Mb/s ISDN PRA trunk (1x30 B-channels)
- 192kb/s ISDN BA trunk (8x2 B-channels)

For further information about ISDN-Trunks see (268/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

### Directory numbers

On system start, each trunk is assigned automatically a directory number from 700 and upwards.

### Routes

Several trunks can be grouped in to a route(s) when the external destination/connection is the same for the trunks. A route is accessible with a route directory number to seizure one of the free trunks.

On system initiation are all the trunks on the first found trunk board placed in the route 0.

See also under ”Route Selection (444/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

## Use

See also under ”Outgoing External Calls (381/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen) and Incoming External Calls (262/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

## Operation

See also under ”Outgoing External Calls (381/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen) and Incoming External Calls (262/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

## Capacity

The maximum number of trunks is determined by the number of available voice channels in the system, max. 61.

Analogue trunk boards: Maximum 7 boards (e.g. 7x8 lines = 56 lines).

Digital CAS or ISDN PRA trunk boards: Maximum 2 boards (2x30 B-channels = 60 lines).

Digital 2B+D boards: max. 3 full-equipped BTU-B2 boards (3x8 interfaces = 48 trunks), 7 sub-equipped BTU-B2 boards (7x4 interfaces = 56 trunks) or 7 MFU boards (7x4 interfaces = 56 trunks), whereby the later one does not make sence related to configuration and costs.

## Limitations

When dimensioning the system ensure that the number of trunks is in proportion with the number of available voice channels and also to the relationship between internal and external traffic.

In case of trunk to trunk connection (transit calls) where a proper call disconnection can not be ensured then the speech time is supervised and restricted to an approx. time of 10 minutes. This is depending of used line signal scheme (type of line disconnection signals) See further command 1201 Line signal scheme.

## Programming

Each trunk line can be programmed for:

- adaptation of external call handling in the system
- adaptation of line signalling to a connected public exchange or other PBX

Note

Adaptation of transmission, line signalling and system times requires excellent knowledge of ASB 150 02 and the relevant signal scheme.

### Directory numbers

Via these commands it is possible to alter the number series for individual line positions or for all trunk lines.

5605 |  | Directory number

5606 |  | Alter a trunk number

5607 |  | Change of number series for trunk line

### Trunk categories

See also Categorisation (149/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

The initial (default) parameter value for each category is stated below.

Depending of the searched effect of the external call handling, used signalling and type of trunk these parameters may be altered.

A more detailed category description is available as help text in BMS for each category.
