Adding a DID trunk group
In most cases, Lucent recommends leaving the default settings in fields that aren’t 
specifically mentioned in the following instructions. Your Lucent representative or 
network service provider can give you more information. For Direct Inward 
Dialing (DID) trunk groups, settings in the following fields must match your 
provider’s settings:
Direction
Comm Type
Trunk Type
Expected Digits (only if the digits your provider sends do not match your 
dial plan) 
!
CAUTION:
Use the list above as a starting point and talk to your service provider. 
Depending on your particular application, you may need to coordinate 
additional administration with your service provider.
Before you start
Before you can administer any trunk group, you must have one or more circuit 
packs of the correct type with enough open ports to handle the number of trunks 
you need to add. To find out what circuit packs you need, refer to the DEFINITY 
ECS System Description.
Tip:
In the DID/Tie/ISDN Intercept Treatment field on the Feature-Related 
System parameters screen, enter 
attd
. Incoming calls to invalid extensions 
will be routed to the attendant.
Instructions
To add the new Direct Inward Dialing (DID) trunk-group:
1. Type 
add trunk-group next
 and press 
RETURN
.
The 
Trunk Group
 screen appears. The system assigns the next available 
trunk group number to this group. In our example, we’re adding trunk 
group 5.
