Comments on use of Distant Steering Code?

Before you do this check with the provider on the other end to make sure the remaining channels are really provisioned on their equipment before you do this. Otherwise, you may be getting calls about problems calling out from your users until the channels go into lockout.

Many T-1 based digital trunking services have multiple elements to their pricing. I know on my ISDN PRI there is a span change and a per channel charge. On one of my spans, I only provision 20 B channels (trunking study said I probably only needed 43 trunks). I save $540 per year on this span not provisioning channels that I don't need ($15 * 3 * 12).
