Program 16 – Assign CO Line Groups (or Dial 9)
3-52 Strata DK Programming 5/00
Program 16 Overview
Use Program 16 to assign each CO line to a CO line group or a general “dial 9” group. A general
group for outside calling is available with a “dial 9” access code as the initialized state for all lines.
Lines can be accessed with a dialing code instead of with a CO
/LQH button. This is useful for
WATS lines or other facilities, and is heavily used in Least Cost Routing and Pooled Line Button
assignments.
Do not attempt to assign a line to more than one group. A line need not be assigned to a group. If
lines are not used, they should be taken out of all groups, including the “dial 9” group. Automatic
Busy Redial (ABR) will not function if unconnected (unused) lines are assigned to a line group.
Tie Lines
If you assign a Tie line for Toll Restriction and LCR on tandem calls (Release 4.3 and higher),
assign a class of service in Programs 30, 40, 41, 43, 48, and 56. Program ports 900~916 to match
the Tie line group numbers 01~16, respectively.
