TCP/IP signaling
For TCP/IP signaling, you administer the connection on the Data Module screen and
the Processor Channel Assignment screen. The data module type is
ppp
for a
point-to-point signaling connection or
ethernet
for signaling over an IP network.
In addition, TCP/IP signaling requires administration of the Node Names screen and,
in some cases, the IP Routing screen.
Details of the administration procedures for signaling connections are given in
Chapter 3 of this book.
DCS or Dedicated Trunks to Specific Locations Configurations
In the configuration above, each DEFINITY switch has a separate trunk group that is
dedicated to being linked to another site, each of these trunk groups has a specified
group of ports/lines that is coordinated at the other end. Extension calls to the other
DEFINITY switches in the network are routed to unique trunk groups based on
ARS/AAR digit analysis within the DEFINITY, the IP Trunk server’s administration
routes the calls to the appropriate IP address based on the port/line that the call arrives
on. This configuration works whether DCS is administered between these locations,
or if users simply dial extension numbers to be routed to the appropriate switch and
do not wish to receive DCS features. To arrange a network in this configuration, an
administrator will need to know each IP Trunk server’s IP address, and the ports/lines
that are dedicated to that particular address
