Call-By-Call Overview
The Call-by-Call feature enables a group of ISDN B-channels to be assigned to calls of multiple
network services or even to different carriers on a Call-by-Call basis. Call-by-Call allocates ISDN
trunk groups in a more efficient manner than regular T1 service.
In order to understand the Call-by-Call concept, it is helpful to examine T1. In a T1 environment,
specific channels (trunks) must be pre-assigned and provisioned to support each desired special
network service, for example, outbound and inbound WATS, DID, and Tie lines. Since dedicated
facilities are usually provided for peak traffic, the company pays for the unused bandwidth during
normal and light traffic periods.
T1 Example
In the example shown in Figure 7-1, a span of 24 T1 channels are organized as follows:
♦ Five are assigned to trunk group 1 and assigned to 800 service
♦ Ten are assigned to trunk group 2 and assigned as DIDs.
♦ Nine are assigned to trunk group 3 and assigned as Tie lines.
These lines are all fixed and dedicated. This is, if the traffic is low on any given trunk group, the
lines cannot be re-allocated. Therefore, the user is paying for unused bandwidth.
