How do I configure a T-1 to take a couple of channels and dedicate them to a seperate trunk group on the Nortel 1000M?
 
I want route incomming calls to a different route however I want outgoing to remain on the same route.
 
You have to remove the channels from the route and then put them in the new route. Disable them and if you have the new route configured you should be able to change the route and member prompt.
 
If this T-1 is used to deliver DID calls, then you need to have your carrier move the DIDs to another trunk group or circuit.

If all inbound calls are answered at the same station, then you can change the DN that handles those calls in the TN block for each channel of the T-1 by changing the ATDN or MNDN prompt.
 
Instead of changing channel/routing, why not just treat the DID as it comes in? ie build an ACD with NCFW to where you want the call to go, or CDP's etc, there are several other options that can be used to do this without cutting down on the number of trunks available to everyone else.
The routes you build in the PBX only deal with outgoing calls, not incoming. If you still want to segment your circuit, as allenmac says, you will need to get the carrier involved to make changes their end and remove the members from your existing trunk to stop outbound on those channels in the current config.
