Remote Access over Networked Tandem PRI
and Tie Trunks 3
In Release 6.0 and later systems, Hybrid/PBX mode only, an ARS call originating
at a remote, private networked communications system can arrive on a networked
tandem tie or PRI trunk of the local system and receive remote-access treatment
automatically. This operation allows callers on one system to use lines on another
system speedily and transparently when optimal cost efficiency dictates the need
for lines connected to a different switch in the organization’s private network (in
prior systems and for calls over other remote access trunks, it is necessary to
make an explicit remote-access call, enter a barrier code, and finally use ARS).
To permit this operation, both the local and remote systems must be programmed
using ARS and remote access options. If two or more different system managers
program the private networked systems, they should work together to coordinate
their efforts.
Local Users Calling out on
Private Networked Lines 3
To implement this operation on a local system where callers will use the
networked lines on a
remote
system, use the procedures outlined in the section,
“Automatic Route Selection” on page 3–528
.
Remote Users Calling out on Local Lines 3
When your system is in a private network with a remote system, you can set up
your system so that remote users can use public switched network trunks
connected to your control unit for cost-efficient calling. Your system treats such
calls as remote access calls, but the networked user does not enter a barrier
code. Instead, the system applies default restrictions that apply to all tie and/or all
non-tie trunks, as described later in this topic. These restrictions do not affect
other remote-access trunks that are programmed for use with barrier codes
Calling restrictions should be imposed at the remote originating switch using ARS
and extension FRLs as necessary. In addition, it is unnecessary to assign tandem
trunks for remote access. It is easiest if private networked systems that share
outside facilities also use the same ARS access code (9, for example).
To implement this operation on a local system where callers on a remote
networked system will use the
local
trunks connected to your MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System control unit, use the procedures in this chapter as
outlined below. The relevant topics provide additional details.
1. It is not necessary to assign private networked trunks for remote access.
Callback for non-local trunk-to-trunk tandem calls does not work. Automatic
Callback can be used at the local system when all private networked trunks
are busy.
