Port
If this trunk is registered as an endpoint in an IP application, this field will display 
T00000.
NOTE:
In DCS networks, trunks must be assigned the same member number at both 
nodes.
Code
This display-only field shows the type of circuit pack physically installed or 
logically administered at the location to which this member is assigned. If no 
circuit pack is installed or administered at the port address you enter, the field is 
blank.
Sfx
This display-only field shows the model suffix for the type of circuit pack 
physically installed at the location to which this member is assigned. If no circuit 
pack is installed at the port address you enter, the field is blank. 
Name
Your vendor, as well as Lucent technical staff, sometimes need to identify specific 
trunks to work with your system. Therefore, the name you give to a trunk should 
identify the trunk unambiguously.

Night
Use this field only if you want to assign a night service destination to individual 
trunks that is different from the group destination entered in the Night Service 
field on page 1. Incoming calls are routed to this destination when the system is 
placed in night service mode. 
Mode
This field specifies the signaling mode used on tie trunks with TN722A or later, 
TN760B or later, TN767, TN464 (any suffix), TN437, TN439, TN458, or 
TN2140 circuit packs. This entry must correspond to associated dip switch 
settings on the circuit pack.
!CAUTION:
Customers should not attempt to administer this field. Please contact your 
Lucent representative for assistance.
Ty p e
This field specifies the signaling type to be used with TN760B (or later release), 
TN722 (with any suffix), TN767, TN2140 (when the Trunk Signaling Type field 
is

Enter e&m for 6-wire connections that pair 2 signaling wires with 4 
voice wires. You’ll use 
e&m in the vast majority of systems in the 
U.S.

signaling pair. This configuration is very rare in the U.S.

Ans Delay
!CAUTION:
Customers should not attempt to administer this field. Please contact your 
Lucent representative for assistance
This delay serves two purposes:
nIt ensures that the answer supervision signal is valid and not a secondary 
delay-dial or wink-start signal.
nIt ignores momentary off-hook signals resulting from connections made 
off-network through certain No. 5 Crossbar CCSA switches as the 
connection is being established. Therefore, calls aren’t dropped 
inappropriately.

1045 Vector Directory Number

Vector Directory Number 
This screen defines vector directory numbers (VDN) for the Call Vectoring 
feature. A VDN is an extension number used to access a call vector. Each VDN is 
mapped to one call vector.
VDNs are software extension numbers (that is, not assigned to physical 
equipment). A VDN is accessed via direct dial CO trunks mapped to the VDN 
(incoming destination or night service extension), DID trunks, and LDN calls. 
The VDN may be Night Destination for LDN.
Refer to the DEFINITY ECS Call Vectoring/EAS Guide for more information.

Screen 215. Vector Directory Number
Extension
This is a display-only field when using an administration command such as 
add or 
change to access the screen. The extension is a 1- to 5-digit number that starts 
with a valid first digit and length as defined by the System’s dial plan.

Name
This is an optional field that need not contain any data. It is the name associated 
with the VDN.
Vector Number
Identification number that specifies a particular call vector that is accessed 
through the VDN.
Attendant Vectoring
This field appears only if Attendant Vectoring is enabled on the Customer Options 
screen. This field determines if the vector you are defining will use the attendant 
vectoring feature
Allow VDN Override
This entry affects the operation of an agent’s display and certain options/data 
assigned to the VDN when a call is routed through several VDNs.
For Expert Agent Selection (EAS), if this field is 
y on the original VDN, the Skills 
of the new VDN will be used. If this field is 
n on the original VDN, the Skills of 
the original VDN will be used.
Valid entries Usage
Enter up to a 27-character 
alphanumeric name that 
identifies the VDN. The name may be truncated on agents’ displays 
depending on the application. When information 
is forwarded with an interflowed call, only the 
first 15 characters are sent
Valid entries Usage

blank.
Valid entries Usage
y
n
The vector will be an attendant vector. This entry will 
dynamically change the rest of the screen to eliminate field 
options available with other types of vectors.
The vectory will not be an attendant vector.
