use different numbering. An actual display would include a profile number for the Destination
profile named outdial-1 in the example above.) Destination profiles let you instruct the
unit to use the first available channels to place the call, or to try one trunk group first, followed
by another if the first is unavailable. For example, if the Destination profile has Option set to
1st Avail, the unit takes the first available channels for the call. If the dial numbers specify
different trunk groups, the unit can use bandwidth from one switch as backup for another. For
example, trunk group 4 might contain channels serviced by Sprint while trunk group 5 might
be serviced by AT&T.
Dialing through trunk groups 4–9
In Line config profiles, you can assign trunk groups 4–9 to specify groups of channels that the
MAX unit uses for placing calls. If the group that a Connection or call profile specifies for a
call has no available channels, the call is not placed.
Trunk-group assignments limit the number of channels available to multichannel calls, because
only channels within the same trunk group can be aggregated. The unit uses trunk-group
assignments to group the channels from different types of lines. For example, when more than
one carrier services lines for the unit, you can assign trunk group 4 to a line serviced by one
carrier and trunk group 5 to a line serviced by another.
Note: A trunk group cannot include both BRI and PRI channels.
