Trunk Types • Copper-traditional trunks to LEC • T-1 • PRI (Primary Rate of Interface) • DTR (Digital Trunk Route)
Copper Trunks • Each trunk is a copper cable pair to the local telephone company • One incoming or outgoing call per trunk • Several types, typically ground-start
Digital Trunks, T-1/PRI • PRI is an enhanced version of T-1 which can pass caller ID Information • Use 2 copper cable pairs for physical connection • Data is digital/multiplexed • Each is the equivalent of 23 copper lines • Can be one-way or both way
Digital Trunks, Part2 • T-1/PRI have 24 channels, one is used as a control channel • DTR trunks use all 24 channels for voice • Parts of T-1s can be split out for video-we have “6 lines” of one T-1 dedicated to video to off-campus sites
Austin Peay only Trunks • T-1 to Ft. Campbell • Data T-1 to Ft. Campbell • Video T-1 to Ft. Campbell • T-1 to Public Square • T-1 to Shasteen • Shasteen has 3 copper trunks to Bell South
Copper Trunks • TG5-14 ground start copper trunks to Bell South • Routinely used for outgoing modem traffic • These are our emergency trunks in case of switch failure • TG2-2 ground start copper trunks from Bell South • Calls to campus for long distance access
Local Trunks • Seven PRI to New South • TGs 10, 12, 14, 28, 32, 34, 44, 54 • 28 and 32 are a single PRI split into 6 lines dedicated to video and 17 lines for voice, therefore two TG designations

Incoming Trunks • First choice is TG 10 • Second choice is TG 12 • Third choice is TG 14 • Incoming long distance is routed through the incoming trunks from New South
Special Purpose • Outgoing modem traffic • First choice is TG 5 (copper to Bell South) • Second choice is TG 28 (PRI shared with video) • Third choice is TG 14 (which is the third choice for incoming calls • This will probably change with residence hall networking completed
