Can someone enlighten me on trunk routing?
I use a G3siV6 with 3 carriers. 4E1s are connected to one telco and one extra E1 to another Telco. I would like to use the last(5th) E1 for outgoing calls only as this Telco is far cheaper but 30 channels may not be enough so I need more flexibility. If needed I would like to route outbound calls over any spare trunks on the other 4 E1s just in case the E1 is fully occupied. Now here comes the tricky bit. When I route calls over a route pattern they will need to refer to particular route pattern and trunk group. In that trunk group I would have trunk members for the 5th E1 with no prefix on the dial string for outgoing calls as these calls would be on-net to the telco. However if I wanted to add members from another DS1(E1) I would need to have a prefix in order to route them properly as these calls would be routed have to be routed to the same carrier but off-net. Thanks
