line pools

[Philbert221]

I want to be able to setup outbound routing using the 9 access code. The twist is I will have two different line pools. I want Pool-B (4 analog lines) to be my first option on the outbound call. I want my second pool (Pri-A) to be the backup in case all trunks in Pool-B are busy. The reason for this is I need to reserve channels on the PRI for inbound.
Can this be done using only the 9 as the outbound access code?

TIA

Create 2 routes X (pool b) and Y (PRI-A) (X,Y = vacant route numbers)

Create a routing service on schedule 4 and set it to automatic on.

In your destination code 9 select for normal schedule route X. For schedule 4, set first route as X and second route as Y. As long as this service is ON, calls will use route X first and overflow into route Y. If the route is turned off, calls will stop when pool b is full.

Hope that helps.

What the difference if there all inm one route or 2 routes, if you need to make a call it will use an available route. Make life easy get more channels or just put them all in 1 route.

Thanks Magna. The reason I'm not just adding channels is that I'm in an emergency situation that needs fixing within a couple of days and my telco can't provision a PRI that fast.

why would you want the 4 analog lines to be the first option over the PRI-A that doesn't make any sence it should be the other way around pick the PRI-A route and then if all channels are busy then start to pick from Pool B which I would set-up something like MagnaRGP said. How many channels is your PRI.
