E1 PRI PBX tie-link

How to Configure a PRI tie-link between two PBX's. There are applications where this is useful, for example when there's no network path between sites. Combining DID and TIE trunks on the same PRI solves many of the problems associated with this kind of setup.

Significant prompts (Rel. 7.5) are indicated, terminal input is bold, notes are in blue.


1Add a PRI Loop: change in LD 17, print in LD 22.
