Transfer — Outgoing Trunk to
Outgoing Trunk
Outgoing Trunk to Outgoing Trunk Transfer (OTTOTT) permits a controlling 
party (such as a station user or attendant) to initiate two or more outgoing trunk 
calls and then connect the trunks. This operation removes the controlling party 
from the connection and conferences the outgoing trunks. Alternatively, the 
controlling party can establish a conference call with the outgoing trunks and then 
drop out of the conference, leaving only the outgoing trunks on the conference.
NOTE:
This is an optional enhancement to Trunk-to-Trunk Transfer and requires 
careful administration and use. Distributed Communication System (DCS) 
Trunk Turnaround may be an acceptable and safer alternative to this feature.
OTTOTT allows calls to be established in which the only parties involved are 
external to the switch and are on outgoing trunks. This type of call can result in 
locked-up trunks, such as trunks that cannot be disconnected except by 
busying-out and releasing the affected trunk circuit. To clear the lockup, a service 
technician must reseat the trunk board, or busy-out and release the affected trunk.
Detailed description
This feature is enabled by administering the Disconnect Supervision Out field to 
y
 
on at least one outgoing trunk group screen, and enabling Trunk-to-trunk transfer 
on the Feature Related System Parameters screen. In addition, the network must 
provide answer supervision. The answer supervision test increases the probability, 
but does not guarantee, that a disconnect signal is received from the remote end of 
the trunk. To mitigate problems associated with its accidental use, this feature is 
administrable only on trunk groups on the Trunk Group screen. It is not a system 
option.
