Creating an additional trunk profile for an FXO gateway
An FXO gateway has eight FXO ports. By default, all eight ports are mapped to a single trunk. However, you can reassign the ports to multiple trunks, if required. For example, you can create four trunks with two ports each. If you want to create an additional trunk profile for an FXO gateway, perform this procedure.
Prerequisite
|
Before adding any port to a trunk, reduce the port number in the default trunk accordingly. For details about how to edit a trunk profile, see Editing a trunk profile for an FXO gateway. |
