DID or TIE

[hawks]

Question, is there any benefits between setting up trunks as DID or TIE in a point to point PRI application? In other words is one better than the other I've always just set them up as DID.

One difference between TIE and DID trunks is that the system considers TIE trunk calls to be private network calls and DID trunk calls to be public network calls. Because of this, I always make trunks on a point to point T-1's TIE trunks. Most of the time it will not make a difference either way you program them. But there are some prompts in LD 15 where you can specify different default call treatment for DID trunks.

We do tons of pri NARS and we only use TIE

I used Tie with standard T1 but was told with PRI it shouldn't matter there is no big difference. I guess I'll take another look at setting them up as Tie trunks. Do you get more networking features as Tie?
Thanks

As a rule of thumb I would set up point to point as TIE and circuits to carriers as DID regardless of DTI or PRI. Also set your DSEL in the RDB to 3VCE. This has no downside and will prevent some strange networking problems that occationally can occur.
