Access Endpoint 

This screen administers Access Endpoints and Wideband Access endpoints.

You can administer Wideband Access Endpoints only if, on the 
System-Parameters Customer-Options screen, the Wideband Switching field 
is 

.

An Access Endpoint is a nonsignaling trunk that neither responds to signaling nor 
generates signaling. Access Endpoints eliminate the need to dedicate an entire 
trunk group for the access of a single trunk by providing the capability to assign 
an extension number to a single trunk. An Access Endpoint can be specified as the 
Originator or Destination endpoint of an administered connection.

A Wideband Access Endpoint (WAE) is an endpoint application connected to 
line-side non-ISDN T1 or E1 facilities and, like Access Endpoints, have no 
signaling interface with the system. For information on endpoint applications 
connected to line-side ISDN-PRI facilities, see 

‘‘PRI Endpoint’’ on page 853

.

The WAE is defined by a starting port (DS0) and a width specifying the number of 
adjacent nonsignaling DS0s (positioned within a DS1 facility) that make up the 
endpoint. This width may be between 2 and 31 adjacent DS0s.

Access Endpoints and Wideband Access Endpoints consume the same 
resources that trunks use. Thus, the sum of Access Endpoints and trunks 
cannot exceed the maximum number of trunks available in your system 
configuration.
