private networks. In previous releases, this functionality is available using tie lines,
but users handle calls between networked switches as outside calls. In this
release, dialing the pool access code is not necessary for a call going from one
networked switch to another. Also, delay-start tie trunks or T1 trunks administered
as PRI can act as
tandem trunks
to connect networked systems.
Available for Hybrid/PBX mode systems, the private network features of the
MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 6.0 provide the following

2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-digit dial plans. They dial these extensions as inside calls. To
implement this function, the system manager programs the extension
ranges of remote networked switches to create a non-local dial plan. This
programming does not actually affect numbering on the remote system. To
correctly set up systems for transparent calling among non-local dial plan
extensions, the system manager assigns networking tie and/or PRI tandem
trunks to pools. Then he or she programs as many as 20 patterns,
