Public Network Access Via DPNSS•
Individual Trunk AccessThe COS for the sets is programmed.
35 Test your trunks using the Individual Trunk Access feature code. Enter the feature code and then the four digit trunk number. Because this is a PRI trunk you won’t hear dial tone, so just dial a four-digit DN that is valid for that lab. Refer to the classroom maps or the instructor for the DNs to dial.
Calls can be completed to and from each lab in the classroom. Errors can be caused by either end of the span.
