I have a remote office with a 5600 that has 5 pots lines.

I would like to use outbound trucks at my main office if the lines at the remote become heavily used. At least one open line to receive calls.

Does this make sense? I am looked over the systems and I can't find what I am looking for.
Any advice?

Oh...you mean trunks...

It was too early in the morning.. and spell check doesn't pickup on using the wrong words..

Go into each Facility Group's Trunk Groups/Nodes and add the Main Node in there as the second option behind your POTS lines Co Trunk Group.

I would guess that a system with just 5 POTS lines isn’t using ARS.

Assuming that the 5 lines are in one trunk group, I would start by splitting them into two groups. Line 1-4 in one group and line 5 in the second. Make the ring in destination the same for both, but don’t use the second group for outgoing. That will keep one line always available for an incoming call.

From there, build the Facility Groups to use the local lines first, then the remote node. Change the outbound extension from the trunk group to ARS. If the sites have different local calling areas, expect dialing issues.

Stix and DND..

Thanks..

I'll try this out after I have my coffee this morning..

(or else I'll have a ton of of TRUCK issues)
