Trunk Type Configure 0x0011

SwitchKit Name

TrunkTypeConfig

Type

EXS API and SwitchKit API message

Description

The message is required only for the T-ONE card. It sets the trunk or line interface protocol for a channel or group of channels. Logical Span IDs must be assigned to channels before this message can be sent.

This should be the first message sent when configuring channels, as any configuration sent before it resets to the defaults for the trunk type specified.

Trunk types define the standard signaling protocol used by a channel or group of channels. The Trunk Type Configure message sets all of the channel configuration to the defaults associated with the trunk type (based on the AT&T publication 43801 and the Bellcore TR-TSY-000506 specifications).

The default trunk type is E&M for T1 spans, and PPL (ITU-T Compelled R2) for E1 spans. Trunk types may be different for each individual channel on a span. This allows applications that require mixed trunk types to reside on the same span.

Configuration associated with each trunk type include the start dial type, signal scanning filters and timers, and transmit signal timers. Any configuration which varies from the defaults must be reissued following the sending of a Trunk Type Configure message.

NOTE: This message cannot be used for channels on a T-ONE or E-ONE line card with the span format set to Clear Channel. If so, a NACK of 0x17 (Invalid Data Type) is returned.
