Applications
The optional applications, features and signaling arrangements for each trunk 
are assigned through unique route and trunk data blocks. Refer to the 
Features and Services (553-3001-306) for information about assigning 
features and services to trunks.
PAD switching
The transmission properties of each trunk are characterized by 
class-of-service (COS) assignments in the trunk data block (LD 14). The 
assignment may be non-Via Net Loss (non-VNL) or via Net Loss (VNL). To 
ensure stability and minimize echo when connecting to long-haul VNL (Tie) 
trunks, non-VNL trunks are assigned either Transmission Compensated 
(TRC) or Non-Transmission Compensated (NTC) class-of-service.
The TRC and NTC COS options determine the operation of the switchable 
pads contained in the trunk circuits. They are assigned as follows:
TRC for a two-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of greater than 
2 dB or for which impedance compensation is provided, or for a 
four-wire non-VNL facility.
NTC for a two-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of less than 2 dB 
or when impedance compensation is not provided.
