trunk to trunk conferencing

[coniglio]

if someone calls me from the outside and asks me to conference in another outside party and i press CONFERENCE and dial the other number, but do NOT get the CONNECT option until the second outside party answers, is this because my external trunks/T1s are configured to NOT allow the connection of these two external parties until the second party answers? If so, is this to prevent some type of toll fraud? thank you for your help.

This feature is inherent to the system, you can never make conf feature available until the confer'd party answers the call. It doesn't have anything to do with toll fraud; however, if you hang up and your disconnect control isn't set correctly then you will have the outside party's connected and you pay for the duration of the call. Be sure to check the NEDC and FEDC in the route data block which you print in LD 21

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CONFERENCE BEFORE THE OTHER PARTY ANSWERED, WHAT IF YOU COULD AND THE LINE WAS BUSY.

Dear NTI620,

What exactly am I checking as far as Near/Far End Disconnect? Should I make sure they're both set to ETH?

 

[NTI620]

Yes it should be set for ETH for both

 

[coniglio]

If everyone always tells me to set the disco options to EITHER then why is there even a choice? when would you want only the ORIGINATOR to disco the call? and what is the difference between NEAR end disconnect and FAR end disconnect? if I call you, am I the near end and you're the far end? then which of us controls disco'ing the call? and for FEDC what does JNT and FEC mean? thank you.

There are a lot of software commands that don't apply to today's trunking or phones that are still in the software code. I am sure that there was a point at which Nortel made a decision to leave that code in versus removing it.
The book gives a description of the choices for that prompt, but I like you have only ever used ETH.
