User's Manual   23. Trunk Groups 
Parameter  Description 
Trunk Group, in ascending cyclic order is selected. After the 
device reaches the highest channel number in the Trunk Group, it 
selects the lowest channel number in the Trunk Group, and then 
starts ascending again. 
  [2] Always Ascending = The lowest available channel in the Trunk 
Group is selected, and if unavailable, the next higher channel is 
selected. 
  [3] Cyclic Descending = The next available channel in descending 
cyclic order is selected. The next lower channel number in the 
Trunk Group is always selected. When the device reaches the 
lowest channel number in the Trunk Group, it selects the highest 
channel number in the Trunk Group, and then starts descending 
again. 
  [4] Always Descending = The highest available channel in the 
Trunk Group is selected, and if unavailable, the next lower 
channel is selected. 
  [5] Dest Number & Cyclic Ascending = The channel is selected 
according to the called number. If the called number isn't found, 
the next available channel in ascending cyclic order is selected. 
Note: If the called number is located, but the port associated with 
the number is busy, the call is released. 
  [6] By Source 
Phone Number = The channel is selected according 
to the calling number. 
  [7] Trunk Cyclic Ascending = The channel from the first channel of 
the next trunk (adjacent to the trunk from which the previous 
channel was selected) is selected. (Applicable only to digital 
interfaces.) 
  [8] Trunk & Channel Cyclic Ascending = The device implements 
the Trunk Cyclic Ascending and Cyclic Ascending methods to 
select the channel. This method selects the next physical trunk in 
the Trunk Group, and then selects the B-channel of this trunk 
according to the Cyclic Ascending method (i.e., selects the 
channel after the last allocated channel). (Applicable only to digital 
interfaces.) 
For example, if the Trunk Group includes two physical trunks, 0 
and 1: 
  For the first incoming call, the first channel of Trunk 0 is 
selected. 
  For the second incoming call, the first channel of Trunk 1 is 
selected. 
  For the third incoming call, the second channel of Trunk 0 is 
selected. 
  [9] Ring to Hunt Group = The device allocates IP-to-Tel calls to all 
the FXS ports (channels) in the Hunt Group (i.e., a ringing group). 
When a call is received for the Hunt Group, all telephones 
connected to the FXS ports belonging to the Hunt Group start 
ringing. The call is eventually received by whichever telephone 
first answers the call (after which the other phones stop ringing). 
This option is applicable only to FXS interfaces. 
  [10] Select Trunk by Supp-Serv Table = The BRI port/module is 
selected according to the settings in the Supplementary Services 
table (see Configuring Multi-Line Extensions and Supplementary 
Services on page 618), allowing the routing of IP-to-Tel calls to
