Is it possible to transfer a trunk from one CIX system to another? I have one system with a PRI serving several other systems. I would like to have particular calls coming in to be transfered to another system and treated like a trunk on that other system so I can set all the same DID settings on that remote system like I can on the system with the PRI. I'm currently interconnected via MIPUs using StrataNet.
Is this a pipe dream or is there a way of doing this?
Yes it can be transferred "Blind Transfer". Or do you mean Terminate to the Remote Node making the DID ring as if it were terminated on the Primary Node.
Not really sure what your asking....
If I was going to guess, I would think this is related to the Night feature from his other post.
It sounds to me like if a call comes into Site "A" as a DID, he wants to sent the call accross the Qsig to Site B and show up like a trunk instead of it terminating to an extension, so Site B can set the routing based on DID.
Node 1 has 3 PRI cards.
Node 2 has no PRI cards.
I'd like to have an incoming call going into the PRI on Node 1 to be transferred to Node 2 and treated as if it were a trunk call. Basically, I want to control the call coming into Node 2 using the DID screen.
Basically what newtecky said.
You use the Term "Transferred", this means the call is answered by someone or the Auto Attendant and than transferred to a destination (Node 1).
If the PRI is in Node 1, Node 1 controls the call "Prg 309 DID". Node 2 has no control over the call using Prg 309 or the NT Key.
I'm not sure how to describe it. I guess what I mean is can Node 1 hand the call over to Node 2 so Node 2 can handle the call?
In my other post online I describe an issue where I need to control the Destination Dialing Digits of a DID coming in on Node 1 using the Night Mode/Transfer settings on Node 2. This is the only viable solution I can come up with.
The DID can be controlled via Node 1 NT Key (Day1/Day2/NT) to a "Destination" (DN/PhDN/Pilot) on Node 2. Node 2 NT key will have no effect on this type of call. The Call will ring the Target Destination as if it were a CO call.
Yeah, that's the problem, though. I know I can control it exactly how I want to from Node 1, but I don't have controls from Node 2 for the NT Key setting on Node 1.
This thread was to see if this possible "solution" I thought of was possible. newtecky mentions sending the call across QSig. I'm not familiar with how this might work. Maybe that would work with a CO line but not a DID? Forgive me I'm still a noob.
Put a remote IP phone at the node two location and program it with whatever keys you need.
That actually is going to be the solution we're going to try... just to push a button.
Thanks for all the help guys!
There was already a thread about night key on a second node. Sorry I brought it up again. I was just restating what the OP said and took a guess of why.
At one site we sent calls from site A to the trunk of site B by setting the DID to 9(number) of site B. Problem is that every call takes up 2 trunks at site A and 1 trunk at site B. Not very cost effective.
@newtecky: that would work if we were just transferring callings to that site's CO lines/PRI lines, but that site has no lines except for emergency lines. The only phone service provider access the site has is through Node 1's PRI.
