Trunk line configuration in TNG

[Belinda Frick]

Trunk line settings page.

On this page you will be able to configure your trunk line settings, attach rate files to
certain line numbers and add more trunk ranges. Setting this up is relatively simple.

1. Adding a trunk range.

Let's say for example that your trunk range is from 1 to 20, you will not have to manually add
each separate trunk number but rather add the entire range at once.

At the bottom of the page you will see a section called 'Add trunk range'.
Click your mouse inside the 'From' field and type in the first number of your trunk range, i.e. 1.
Just below that in the 'To' field, enter the last number of your trunk range, i.e. 20 and proceed
by clicking on the 'Add range button'.
TNG will then automatically add each trunk number between 1 and 60.
If all your trunk lines will be using the same rate file, first select the rate file from the drop
down menu and then proceed to add the range.
TNG will automatically associate the chosen rate file for all the lines added.

Please note:

For the Asterisk version on the TNG software, trunk values needs to be an IP address or start with
"trunk_", for example: trunk_telkom1, to qualify as a trunk. Once this is configured, TNG will see
it as a trunk and work correctly.

2. Associating rates to trunk lines.

Once you have added your trunk range you must select a rate file to cost the calls on the specific line.

To do this simply click on the trunk line you added above and the entire field will be made available to edit.
Under the 'trunk description' column you may enter a name or a description to associate with this line.
In the 'rate book' column you must select the correct rates file from the drop down list.
For example, the za_vodacom_talk1000 rate file will be selected if you are using a
Vodacom cell router.
When no cell routers are being used, select the rate file for your country.


3. Deleting or modifying a trunk line in TNG.

Removing a trunk line in TNG is done by clicking on the trash can icon next to the appropriate trunk line.
Modifying or changing a rates file can be done by clicking on the pencil icon next to the trash can. This will
make the filed available so you can edit or change its contents.
Remember to click on apply changes before exiting the screen.
