tandem trunking?

[hototot]

I have a customer who has 2 BCM 400's. There are IP trunks between the two. One location is in Canada, one here in the US. What they want is from the US location, to be able to say, dial '8', and draw dial done from the remote BCM. Is there an easy way to set this up?

u need to setup routes in your routing table

where is this explained?

how do I tell one BCM to grab dial tone from the other?

You can't really get dial tone from the remote site over voip trunks like you could using analog tie trunks. It's not impossible but it isn't very pretty either. What is it they want to do with this "dial tone"?

You would need to set up a destination code 8A and route to IP trunks, absorb the 8 and add 9 (assuming you use 9 to dial out on both switches.) Add 9 as a destination digit in your IP trunk routing. On both switches set up a remote package that includes the pool of lines you dial out with. Apply said package to said pool of lines.
