I haven't had time to try the suggestion yet but, if the trunk is DIT'd to a station that's inbound right?? I also need outbound to the same trunk for the telco ringdown. In our 2400's I then program station as a Hot Line station to a Route and Trunk (AHLS). Do I need to do the same on the IPS? I can't find a command to build a Hot Line to a Rt. and Tk. in the 2000 programming manual.
