DS0 Trunk Group Dial Out Feature Module
Overview
The DS0 Trunk Group Dial Out feature adds functionality that enhances outbound call routing by giving the user control over individual DS0s for outbound calls. Previous to this feature, outbound DS0s could not be configured separately from DS1s. The dial out capabilities of a DS1 applied to all DS0s under that DS1.
Currently, the aggregation of DS1s into trunk groups is done via the Trunk Group Resource Manager (TGRM). The DS0 Trunk Group Dial Out feature enables the TGRM subsystem to aggregate DS0s into trunk groups also. The dial out capabilities of these DS0 trunk groups can then be configured directly at the DS0 level, via the TGRM CLI and by setting the Authentication Authorization and Accounting (AAA) attributes.
The configuration of DS0s for outbound calls enables the Dial on Demand feature to initiate outbound calls over a set of B channels.
DS0 Dial Out Trunk Groups are configured on a Network Access Server (NAS). They support both digital and asynchronous calls and can be configured for the following types of circuits.
•
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)

A trunk group is a logical grouping of multiple T1/E1 interfaces with the same signaling characteristics. A single trunk group can contain up to 64 trunks. Each trunk group can consist of DS0s from different circuits, but each individual DS0 can belong to only one trunk group. Trunk groups configured for ISDN can consist of both PRI and NFAS interfaces.
Platform and Signalling Support
DS0 Dial Out Trunk Groups are supported on Cisco AS5350, AS5400, and AS5850 Universal Gateways.

Trunk Group Resource Manager
The Trunk Group Resource Manager (TGRM) supports the logical grouping, configuration, and joint management of one or more interfaces. The TGRM is used to store configuration information and to accept or select an interface from a trunk group when requested.
A trunk group is provisioned as the target of a dial peer or a dial out profile on an AAA server, and the TGRM transparently selects the specific interface and channels to use for incoming or outgoing calls. Trunks are selected based on the trunk that is least used (default configuration) or the hunt-scheme configured.
Using trunk groups simplifies the task of configuring dial peers and interfaces, and also enables the dynamic selection of interfaces as needed in the access server.
A trunk group can include any number of interfaces, but all the interfaces in a trunk group must use the same type of signaling.
The TGRM subsystem has been enhanced to add fractional trunks to a trunk group. A fractional trunk is a single DS0 or a group of DS0s from a trunk.
Trunk Group CLI Command
The trunk-group command assigns a trunk to a trunk group by specifying the trunk group label parameter and optionally setting the preference parameter.
The DS0 Dial Out Trunk Group feature adds two new optional keywords:
•
•
The timeslots keyword allows you to selectively add DS0s from a signaling circuit. Fractional trunk-groups are configured from the controller configuration mode only (as a PRI serial interface may represent multiple member interfaces, including NFAS). If the timeslots option is not specified, all the DS0s in the signaling circuit are assigned to the trunk-group.
The preference keyword is configured after the timeslots option and is visible only when the timeslots option is used. This helps to differentiate between the list of timeslots number and the preference number.
The following example shows the syntax for configuring selected DS0s using the timeslots keyword and the preference keyword.
trunk-group <label> timeslot <list of timeslots> preference <preference>The following example shows the syntax for configuring all the DS0s in the signaling circuit:

Show Trunk Group Command
The show trunk group command displays the DS0s that belong to a particular trunk group.
A trunk-group can be a group of DS0s from various signaling channels.Show Trunk Group Example - Trunk Group with PRI Trunks
