                                  • Off—Choose this value to disable the use of a TRP with this device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting in the common device configuration with which this device associates.
                                  • On—Choose this value to enable the use of a TRP with this device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting in the common device configuration with which this device associates.

                                  A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or transcoder device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.

                                  Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest to the associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed for the endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVP Agent).

                                  If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used as the required MTP.

                                  See TRP Insertion Requirements in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.

                                  Port Selection Order

                                  Choose the order in which ports are chosen. If you are not sure which port order to use, choose TOP_DOWN:

                                  • TOP_DOWN—Selects ports in descending order, from port 1 to port 8.
                                  • BOTTOM_UP—Selects ports in ascending order, from port 8 to port 1.

                                  Load Information

                                  Enter the appropriate firmware load information for the gateway.

                                  The values that you enter here override the default values for this gateway.

                                  Transmit UTF-8 for Calling Party Name

                                  This device uses the user locale setting of the device's device pool to determine whether to send unicode and whether to translate received unicode information.

                                  For the sending device, if you check this check box and the user locale setting in the device's device pool matches the terminating phone's user locale, the device sends unicode. If the user locale settings do not match, the device sends ASCII.

                                  The receiving device translates incoming unicode characters based on the user locale setting of the sending device's device pool. If the user locale setting matches the terminating phone's user locale, the phone displays the characters.

                                  Note   

                                  The phone may display junk characters if the two ends of the trunk configure user locales that do not belong to the same language group.

                                  Calling Party Transformation CSS

                                  This setting allows you to localize the calling party number on the device. Make sure that the Calling Party Transformation CSS that you choose contains the calling party transformation pattern that you want to assign to this device.

                                  The device takes on the attributes of the Calling Party Transformation Pattern when you assign the pattern to a partition where the Calling Party Transformation CSS exists.

                                  For more configuration information, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

                                  Use Device Pool Calling Party Transformation CSS

                                  To use the Calling Party Transformation CSS that is configured in the device pool that is assigned to this device, check this check box. If you do not check this check box, the device uses the Calling Party Transformation CSS that you configured in the device configuration window.

                                  Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) Information

                                  MLPP Domain

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose an MLPP domain to associate with this device. If you leave the value <None>, this device inherits its MLPP domain from the value that was set for the device's device pool. If the device pool does not have an MLPP Domain setting, this device inherits its MLPP Domain from the value that was set for the MLPP Domain Identifier enterprise parameter.

                                  MLPP Indication

                                  This device type does not have this setting.

                                  MLPP Preemption

                                  This setting does not have this device type.

                                  Geo Location Configuration

                                  Geo Location

                                  From the drop-down list box, select a geo location.

                                  You can select the Unspecified geo location, which designates that this device does not associate with a geo location.

                                  From the drop-down list box, select a geo location filter.

                                  If you leave the <None> setting, no geo location filter gets applied for this device.

                                  You can also select a geo location filter that has been configured with the System > Geolocation Filter menu option.

                                  FXS/FXO port configuration field descriptions

                                  The following table provides detailed descriptions for FXS/FXO port configuration settings.

                                  For the VG200 gateway, not all switch emulation types support the network side. How you configure the gateway switch type determines whether you may or may not be able to set network side.

                                  Table 5 FXS/FXO port configuration settings

                                  Field

                                  Description

                                  Device Information

                                  End-Point Name

                                  For VG200 gateways, this display-only field contains a string that Cisco Unified Communications Manager generates that uniquely identifies the VG200 analog interface.

                                  Description

                                  Cisco Unified Communications Manager generates a string that uniquely identifies the analog MGCP description.

                                  For example:

                                  AALN/S0/SU1/1@domain.com

                                  You can edit this field. The description can include up to 50 characters in any language, but it cannot include double-quotes ("), percentage sign (%), ampersand (&), back-slash (\), or angle brackets (<>).

                                  Device Pool

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate device pool.

                                  The device pool specifies a collection of properties for this device including Communications Manager Group, Date/Time Group, Region, and Calling Search Space for auto registration of devices.

                                  Media Resource Group List

                                  This list provides a prioritized grouping of media resource groups. An application chooses the required media resource, such as a Music On Hold server, from among the available media resources according to the priority order that is defined in a Media Resource Group List.

                                  Packet Capture Mode (for Cisco IOS MGCP gateways only)

                                  Configure this field only when you need to troubleshoot encrypted signaling information for the Cisco IOS MGCP gateway. Configuring packet capturing may cause call-processing interruptions. For more information on this field, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

                                  Packet Capture Duration (for Cisco IOS MGCP gateways only)

                                  Configure this field only when you need to troubleshoot encrypted signaling information for the Cisco IOS MGCP gateway. Configuring packet capturing may cause call-processing interruptions. For more information on this field, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

                                  Calling Search Space

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate calling search space. A calling search space comprises a collection of route partitions that are searched to determine how a collected (originating) number should be routed.

                                  AAR Calling Search Space

                                  Choose the appropriate calling search space for the device to use when it performs automated alternate routing (AAR). The AAR calling search space specifies the collection of route partitions that are searched to determine how to route a collected (originating) number that is otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth.

                                  Location

                                  Use locations to implement call admission control (CAC) in a centralized call-processing system. CAC enables you to regulate audio quality and video availability by limiting the amount of bandwidth that is available for audio and video calls over links between locations. The location specifies the total bandwidth that is available for calls to and from this location.

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate location for this device.

                                  A location setting of Hub_None means that the locations feature does not keep track of the bandwidth that this device consumes. A location setting of Phantom specifies a location that enables successful CAC across intercluster trunks that use H.323 or SIP protocol.

                                  To configure a new location, use the System > Location menu option.

                                  For more details about locations, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide. For an explanation of location-based CAC across intercluster trunks, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.

                                  AAR Group

                                  Choose the automated alternate routing (AAR) group for this device. The AAR group provides the prefix digits that are used to route calls that are otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. An AAR group setting of None specifies that no rerouting of blocked calls will be attempted.

                                  Network Locale

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose the locale that is associated with the gateway. The network locale identifies a set of detailed information to support the hardware in a specific location. The network locale contains a definition of the tones and cadences that the device uses in a specific geographic area.

                                  Note   

                                  Choose only a network locale that is already installed and that the associated devices support. The list contains all available network locales for this setting, but not all are necessarily installed. If the device is associated with a network locale that it does not support in the firmware, the device will fail to come up.

                                  Use Trusted Relay Point

                                  From the drop-down list box, enable or disable whether Cisco Unified Communications Manager inserts a trusted relay point (TRP) device with this media endpoint. Choose one of the following values:

                                  • Default—If you choose this value, the device uses the Use Trusted Relay Point setting from the common device configuration with which this device associates.
                                  • Off—Choose this value to disable the use of a TRP with this device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting in the common device configuration with which this device associates.
                                  • On—Choose this value to enable the use of a TRP with this device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting in the common device configuration with which this device associates.

                                  A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or transcoder device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.

                                  Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest to the associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed for the endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVP Agent).

                                  If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used as the required MTP. See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.

                                  If both TRP and RSVP Agent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified Communications Manager first tries to find an RSVP Agent that can also be used as a TRP.

                                  If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder that is also designated as a TRP.

                                  Refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for a complete discussion of network virtualization and trusted relay points.

                                  Transmit UTF-8 for Calling Party Name

                                  This device uses the user locale setting of the device pool for the device to determine whether to send unicode and whether to translate received unicode information.

                                  For the sending device, if you check this check box and the user locale setting in the device pool for the device matches the terminating phone user locale, the device sends unicode. If the user locale settings do not match, the device sends ASCII.

                                  The receiving device translates incoming unicode characters based on the user locale setting of the sending device pool for the device. If the user locale setting matches the terminating phone user locale, the phone displays the characters.

                                  Note   

                                  The phone may display junk characters if the two ends of the trunk configure user locales that do not belong to the same language group.

                                  Calling Party Transformation CSS

                                  This setting, which displays for FXS ports (not FXO ports), allows you to localize the calling party number on the device. Make sure that the Calling Party Transformation CSS that you choose contains the calling party transformation pattern that you want to assign to this device.

                                  Tip    Before the call occurs, the device must apply the transformation by using digit analysis. If you configure the Calling Party Transformation CSS as None, the transformation does not match and does not get applied. Ensure that you configure the Calling Party Transformation Pattern in a non-null partition that is not used for routing.

                                  Use Device Pool Calling Party Transformation CSS

                                  To use the Calling Party Transformation CSS that is configured in the device pool that is assigned to this device, check this check box. If you do not check this check box, the device uses the Calling Party Transformation CSS that you configured in the Gateway Configuration window.

                                  This settings displays for FXS ports, not FXO ports.

                                  Hotline Device

                                  Check this check box to make this device a Hotline device. Hotline devices can only connect to other Hotline devices. This feature is an extension of PLAR, which configures a phone to automatically dial one directory number when it goes off-hook. Hotline provides additional restrictions that you can apply to devices that use PLAR.

                                  To implement Hotline, you must also create a softkey template without supplementary service softkeys, and apply it to the Hotline device.

                                  Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) Information

                                  MLPP Domain

                                  From the drop-down list box, select an MLPP domain to associate with this device. If you leave the value <None>, this device inherits its MLPP domain from the value set for the device pool for the device. If the device pool does not have an MLPP Domain setting, this device inherits its MLPP Domain from the value set for the MLPP Domain Identifier enterprise parameter.

                                  MLPP Indication

                                  Be aware that this setting is not available for all devices. If available, this setting specifies whether a device that can play precedence tones will use the capability when it places an MLPP precedence call.

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose a setting to assign to this device from the following options:

                                  • Default—This device inherits its MLPP indication setting from its device pool.
                                  • Off—This device does not handle nor process indication of an MLPP precedence call.
                                  • On—This device does handle and process indication of an MLPP precedence call.
                                  Note   

                                  Do not configure a device with the following combination of settings: MLPP Indication is set to Off or Default (when default is Off) while MLPP Preemption is set to Forceful.

                                  MLPP Preemption

                                  Be aware that this setting is not available for all devices. If available, this setting specifies whether a device that can preempt calls in progress will use the capability when it places an MLPP precedence call.

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose a setting to assign to this device from the following options:

                                  • Default—This device inherits its MLPP preemption setting from its device pool.
                                  • Disabled—This device does not allow preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher precedence calls.
                                  • Forceful—This device allows preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher precedence calls.
                                  Note   

                                  Do not configure a device with the following combination of settings: MLPP Indication is set to Off or Default (when default is Off) while MLPP Preemption is set to Forceful.

                                  Port Information (POTS)

                                  Port Direction

                                  Choose the direction of calls that are passing through this port:

                                  • Inbound—Use for incoming calls only.
                                  • Outbound—Use for outgoing calls.
                                  • Bothways—Use for inbound and outbound calls (default).

                                  Prefix DN(for FXS ports)

                                  Enter the prefix digits that are appended to the digits that this trunk receives on incoming calls.

                                  Cisco Unified Communications Manager adds prefix digits after first truncating the number in accordance with the Num Digits setting.

                                  You can enter the international escape character +.

                                  Num Digits(for FXS ports)

                                  Enter the number of significant digits to collect, from 0 to 32.

                                  Cisco Unified Communications Manager counts significant digits from the right (last digit) of the number called.

                                  Use this field for the processing of incoming calls and to indicate the number of digits starting from the last digit of the called number that is used to route calls coming into the PRI span. See Prefix DN.

                                  Expected Digits(for FXS ports)

                                  Enter the number of digits that are expected on the inbound side of the trunk. For this rarely used field, leave zero as the default value if you are unsure.

                                  SMDI Port Number (0-4096)

                                  Use this field for analog access ports that connect to a voice-messaging system.

                                  Set the SMDI Port Number equal to the actual port number on the voice-messaging system to which the analog access port connects.

                                  Note

                                  For VG200 gateways, this display-only field contains a string that Cisco Unified Communications Manager generates that uniquely identifies the VG200 digital interface.

                                  For example:

                                  S1/DS1-0@VG200-2

                                  S1 indicates slot 1, DS1-0 designates the digital interface, and @VG200-2 designates the VG200 template name.

                                  Description

                                  Enter a description that clarifies the purpose of the device. The description can include up to 50 characters in any language, but it cannot include double-quotes ("), percentage sign (%), ampersand (&), back-slash (\), or angle brackets (<>).

                                  Device Pool

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate device pool.

                                  The device pool specifies a collection of properties for this device including Communications Manager Group, Date/Time Group, Region, and Calling Search Space for auto-registration of devices.

                                  Call Classification

                                  This parameter determines whether an incoming call that is using this gateway is considered off the network (OffNet) or on the network (OnNet).

                                  When the Call Classification field is configured as Use System Default, the setting of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusterwide service parameter, Call Classification, determines whether the gateway is OnNet or OffNet.

                                  This field provides an OnNet or OffNet alerting tone when the call is OnNet or OffNet, respectively.

                                  Media Resource Group List

                                  This list provides a prioritized grouping of media resource groups. An application chooses the required media resource, such as a Music On Hold server, from among the available media resources according to the priority order that is defined in a Media Resource List.

                                  Calling Search Space

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate calling search space. A calling search space designates a collection of route partitions that are searched to determine how a collected (originating) number should be routed.

                                  You can configure the number of calling search spaces that display in this drop-down list box by using the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter. If more calling search spaces exist than the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter specifies, the ellipsis button (...) displays next to the drop-down list box. Click the ... button to display the Select Calling Search Space window. Enter a partial calling search space name in the List items where Name contains field. Click the desired calling search space name in the list of calling search spaces that displays in the Select item to use box and click OK.

                                  Note   

                                  To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and choose Unified CMAdmin Parameters.

                                  Choose the appropriate calling search space for the device to use when automated alternate routing (AAR) is performed. The AAR calling search space specifies the collection of route partitions that are searched to determine how to route a collected (originating) number that is otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth.

                                  Location

                                  Choose the appropriate location for this device. The location specifies the total bandwidth that is available for calls to and from this location. A location setting of None means that the locations feature does not keep track of the bandwidth that this device consumes.

                                  AAR Group

                                  Choose the automated alternate routing (AAR) group for this device. The AAR group provides the prefix digits that are used to route calls that are otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. An AAR group setting of None specifies that no rerouting of blocked calls will be attempted.

                                  MLPP Domain

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose an MLPP domain to associate with this device. If you leave the value <None>, this device inherits its MLPP domain from the value that was set for the device's device pool. If the device pool does not have an MLPP Domain setting, this device inherits its MLPP Domain from the value that was set for the MLPP Domain Identifier enterprise parameter.

                                  Handle DTMF Precedence Signals

                                  Check this box to enable this gateway to interpret special DTMF signals as MLPP precedence levels.

                                  Load Information

                                  Enter the appropriate firmware load information for the gateway.

                                  The values that you enter here override the default values for this gateway.

                                  Choose the order in which channels or ports are allocated for outbound calls from first (lowest number port) to last (highest number port) or from last to first.

                                  Valid entries include TOP_DOWN (first to last) or BOTTOM_UP (last to first). If you are not sure which port order to use, choose TOP_DOWN.

                                  Digit Sending

                                  Choose one of the following digit sending types for out-dialing:

                                  • DTMF—Dual-tone multifrequency. Normal touchtone dialing
                                  • MF—Multifrequency
                                  • PULSE—Pulse (rotary) dialing

                                  Network Locale

                                  From the drop-down list box, choose the locale that is associated with the gateway.

The network locale contains a definition of the tones and cadences that the device uses in a specific geographic area.

                                  Note   

                                  Choose only a network locale that is already installed and supported by the associated devices. The list contains all available network locales for this setting, but not all are necessarily installed. If the device is associated with a network locale that it does not support in the firmware, the device will fail to come up.

                                  SMDI Base Port

                                  Enter the first SMDI port number of the T1 span.

                                  If you set this parameter to a nonzero value and this gateway belongs to an unknown type of route list, route group, or route list, hunting does not continue past this span.

                                  An MRGL specifies a list of prioritized media resource groups. An application can choose required media resources from among the available ones according to the priority order that is defined in the MRGL.

                                  Location

                                  Choose the location for this group of gateways/ports.

                                  A location indicates the remote location that is accessed by using restricted bandwidth connections.

                                  AAR Group

                                  Choose the automated alternate routing (AAR) group for this device. The AAR group provides the prefix digits that are used to route calls that are otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. An AAR group setting of None specifies that no rerouting of blocked calls will be attempted.

                                  Load Information

                                  Enter the appropriate load information for the custom software for gateway. The values that you enter here override the default values for this gateway.

                                  To use the default load, leave this field blank.

                                  Transmit UTF-8 for Calling Party Name

                                  This device uses the user locale setting of the device's device pool to determine whether to send Unicode and whether to translate received Unicode information.

                                  For the sending device, if you check this check box and the user locale setting in the device's device pool matches the terminating phone's user locale, the device sends Unicode. If the user locale settings do not match, the device sends ASCII.

                                  The receiving device translates incoming Unicode characters based on the user locale setting of the sending device's device pool. If the user locale setting matches the terminating phone's user locale, the phone displays the characters.

                                  The phone may display junk characters if the two ends of the trunk configure user locales that do not belong to the same language group.

                                  Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) Information

                                  Protocol Side

                                  Choose the appropriate protocol side. This setting specifies whether the gateway connects to a Central Office/Network device or to a User device.

                                  Make sure that the two ends of the PRI connection use opposite settings. For example, if you connect to a PBX and the PBX uses User as its protocol side, choose Network for this device. Typically, use User for Central Office (CO) connections.

                                  Channel Selection Order

                                  Choose the order in which channels or ports are enabled from first (lowest number port) to last (highest number port) or from last to first.

                                  Valid entries include TOP_DOWN (last to first) or BOTTOM_UP (first to last). If you are not sure which port order to use, choose TOP_DOWN. The default specifies BOTTOM_UP.

                                  Channel IE Type

                                  Choose one of the following values to specify whether channel selection is presented as a channel map or a slot map:

                                  • Number—B-channel usage always presents a channel map format.
                                  • Slotmap—B-channel usage always presents a slotmap format.
                                  • Use Number When 1B—Channel usage presents a channel map for one B-channel but presents a slotmap if more than one B-channel exists. This represents the default value.

                                  PUnified CMType

                                  Specify the digital encoding format. Choose one of the following formats:

                                  • a-law: Use for Europe and the rest of the world.
                                  • mu-law: Use for North America, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan.

                                  Delay for First Restart

                                  For this optional field, enter the rate, in 1/8-second increments, at which the spans are brought in service. The delay occurs when many PRI spans are enabled on a system and the Inhibit Restarts at PRI Initialization check box is unchecked. The default value specifies 32.

                                  For example, set the first five cards to 0 and set the next five cards to 16. (Wait 2 seconds before bringing them in service.)

                                  Delay Between Restarts

                                  Enter the time, in 1/8-second increments, between restarts. The delay occurs when a PRI RESTART is sent if the Inhibit Restarts check box is unchecked. The default value specifies 4.

                                  Inhibit Restarts at PRI Initialization

                                  A restart message confirms the status of the ports on a PRI span. If RESTARTS are not sent, Cisco Unified Communications Manager assumes that the ports are in service. By default, the box gets checked.

                                  When the D-channel successfully connects with another PRI trunk D-channel, it sends restarts when this box is unchecked.

                                  Enable Status Poll

                                  Check the check box to enable the Cisco Unified Communications Manager advanced service parameter, Change B-Channel Maintenance Status. This service parameter allows you to take individual B-channels out of service while the B-channels are active.

                                  Uncheck this check box to disable the service parameter Change B-Channel Maintenance Status.

                                  Default leaves this field unchecked.

                                  Unattended Ports

                                  Check this check box to indicate an unattended port on this device.

                                  Significant Digits

                                  This field represents the number of final digits that a PRI span should retain on inbound calls. A trunk with significant digits enabled truncates all but the final few digits of the address that is provided on an inbound call.

                                  Enable or disable this check box depending on whether you want to collect significant digits:

                                  • If you do not check the check box, Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not truncate the inbound number.
                                  • If you check the check box, you also need to choose the number of significant digits to collect. By default, the box remains checked.

                                  Calling Search Space

                                  Choose the calling search space for this group of phones/ports.

                                  A calling search space specifies the collection of Route Partitions that are searched to determine how a dialed number should be routed.

                                  AAR Calling Search Space

                                  Choose the appropriate calling search space for the device to use when it performs automated alternate routing (AAR). The AAR calling search space specifies the collection of route partitions that are searched to determine how to route a collected (originating) number that is otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth.

                                  Prefix DN

                                  For this optional field, enter the prefix digits that are appended to the digits that this trunk receives on incoming calls.

                                  Cisco Unified Communications Manager adds prefix digits after first truncating the number in accordance with the Num Digits setting.

                                  Redirecting Number IE Delivery—Outbound

                                  For this optional field, check the check box to include the Redirecting Number IE in the SETUP message to indicate the first redirecting number and the redirecting reason of the call when a call is forwarded. By default, the box remains unchecked.

                                  This setting applies to the SETUP message only on all protocols for digital access gateways.

                                  Redirecting Number IE Delivery—Inbound

                                  For this optional field, check the check box to include the Redirecting Number IE in the SETUP message to indicate the first redirecting number and the redirecting reason of the call when a call is forwarded. By default, the box remains unchecked.

                                  This setting applies to the SETUP message only on all protocols for digital access gateways.

                                  Send Extra Leading Character in Display IE

                                  Check this check box to include a special leading character byte (non ASCII, nondisplayable) in the DisplayIE field.

                                  Uncheck this check box to exclude this character byte from the DisplayIE field.

                                  This check box only applies to the DMS-100 protocol and the DMS-250 protocol.

                                  Default leaves this setting disabled (unchecked).

                                  Setup of Non-ISDN Progress Indicator IE Enable

                                  For this optional field, you may need to specify a value in this field to force ringback on some PBXs.

                                  The default specifies unchecked. Check this check box only if users are not receiving ringback tones on outbound calls.

                                  When this setting is enabled, Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends Q.931 setup messages out digital (that is, non-H.323) gateways with the Progress Indicator field set to non-ISDN.

                                  This message notifies the destination device that the Cisco Unified Communications Manager gateway is non-ISDN and that the destination device should play inband ringback.

                                  This problem usually associates with Cisco Unified Communications Managers that connect to PBXs through digital gateways.

                                  Prefix DN

                                  Enter the prefix digits that are appended to the digits that this trunk receives on incoming calls.

                                  The Cisco Unified Communications Manager adds prefix digits after it truncates the number in accordance with the Num Digits setting.

                                  Num Digits

                                  Enter the number of significant digits to collect, from 0 to 32.

                                  Cisco Unified Communications Manager counts significant digits from the right (last digit) of the number that is called.

                                  Use this field for the processing of incoming calls and to indicate the number of digits starting from the last digit of the called number that are used to route calls that are coming into the PRI span. See Prefix DN.

                                  Expected Digits

                                  Enter the number of digits that are expected on the inbound side of the trunk. For this rarely used field, leave zero as the default value if you are unsure.

                                  Call Restart Timer (1000-5000 ms)

                                  Call Restart Timer (1000-5000 ms); ms indicates time in milliseconds.

                                  Offhook Validation Timer (100-1000 ms)

                                  For example, in North America:

                                  • 555XXXX = Variable calling line ID, where X equals an extension number. The CO appends the number with the area code if you do not specify it.
                                  • 5555000 = Fixed calling line ID, where you want the Corporate number to be sent instead of the exact extension from which the call is placed. The CO appends the number with the area code if you do not specify it.

                                  Prefix DN

                                  Enter the prefix digits that are appended to the called party number on incoming calls.

                                  The Cisco Unified Communications Manager adds prefix digits after first truncating the number in accordance with the Num Digits setting.

                                  Num Digits

                                  Choose the number of significant digits to collect, from 0 to 32. Cisco Unified Communications Manager counts significant digits from the right (last digit) of the number that is called.

                                  Use this field if you check the Sig Digits check box. Use this field for the processing of incoming calls and to indicate the number of digits starting from the last digit of the called number that are used to route calls that are coming into the PRI span. See Prefix DN and Sig Digits.

                                  Expected Digits

                                  Enter the number of digits that are expected on the inbound side of the trunk. If you are unsure, leave zero as the default value for this rarely used field.

                                  Unattended Port

                                  Check this check box to indicate an unattended port on this device.
