Trunk circuits originating from one CO or system and terminating on another (tandem trunking) can be transparently interconnected without attendant intervention.
Tandem Trunking is dependent upon regulatory provisions imposed by the local telephone authority. This feature provides:
answer supervision
alternative routing
interconnect restriction tables
feature availability by Direct In Line (DIL) trunks
incoming digit modification
outgoing digit modification
dial tone detection
outpulsing arrangements
variants in types of trunk circuit.
Set the Public Trunk COS option to "Yes" in the Class of Service Options form if the trunk will be connected to the public network. This does not affect CO, Digital CO, LS/GS, DID, DASS CO/DID, DASS CO (outgoing only), or ISDN trunks which are already recognized as public network trunks by the system.
When the Public Trunk COS option is used in conjunction with the Public Network to Public Network Connection Allowed COS option (set to "No"), users are prevented from dropping out of conferences that use two or more of these trunks.
Trunks with the Public Trunk COS option set to "Yes" are identified as CO trunks when used in a conference or MSDN/DPNSS network; it does not apply to rerouting functions.
Create a new COS by Setting the Public Trunk option to "Yes" in the Class of Service Options form (for users restricted from making public trunk to public trunk connections, ensure their Public Network to Public Network Connection Allowed COS option is set to "No").
Assign the COS to the trunks in the Trunk Attributes form.
Program the ARS Node Identities, Call Rerouting, Interconnect Restriction Table, and Intercept Handling forms.
