BETA DOCUMENT - PRELIMINARY & CONFIDENTIAL
About trunks__________________________________________
Trunks are the outside phone lines that connect your business to the telephone
company and other providers.
Adding a trunk to your Strata CS system is a three-step process:
1. Connecting the physical trunk line to the Dialogic voice board in the
Strata CS Server computer. You can find instructions for this step in
Strata CS Installation & Maintenance Manual.
2. Defining the trunk in the Strata CS Administrator’s Trunks view. See
“Adding trunks” on page 5-3.
3. Including the trunk in a dialing service, so that users can place outbound
calls on it. See “About dialing services” on page 8-2.
For information about required hardware and how to order services from your
phone company, see Strata CS Installation & Maintenance Manual.
