Description

Tandem PRI Trunk Programming

Two PRI Switch Type options allow you to set up a PRI tandem trunk (Hybrid/PBX mode only) that connects two MERLIN MAGIX Integrated Systems or a MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System and a MERLIN LEGEND (Release 6.1 or later), DEFINITY ECS, DEFINITY BCS, or DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions system. The two additional programming options are LEGEND-Ntwk and LEGEND-PBX. One system is specified as operating in PBX mode and the other as operating in networked mode. When both systems are MERLIN MAGIX Integrated Systems, it is not significant which system is assigned which switch type, only that they are opposites. When you program this switch type, it is important to specify the type of switch at the other end of the PRI trunk, not the local switch.

DEFINITY ECS, DEFINITY BCS, and DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions systems do not have a Switch Type setting. The Interface field on such a system identifies the type of the DEFINITY ECS, DEFINITY BCS, or DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions system, not the type at the other end of the tandem trunk as on MERLIN LEGEND Communications Systems (Release 6.1 and later) and MERLIN MAGIX Integrated Systems. If the Interface field specifies Network, as it typically might, the connected MERLIN MAGIX Integrated Systems specify LEGEND-Ntwk. If the Interface field specifies User the connected MERLIN MAGIX Integrated Systems are programmed with the LEGEND-PBX setting.

 

MERLIN LEGEND, DEFINITY ECS, DEFINITY BCS, or DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions features and operations are beyond the scope of this guide. For information about these systems, consult their documentation.

When you specify one of these two switch types at a MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System, the system's automatic assignment algorithm performs the following actions to set up the PRI tandem trunk:
