You are on the best track. I use PBX for all of my installs. It does explain each template in the inst guide, but I would continue to use the PBX template.

The DID template by default assigns Target Lines to all DN's. This saves some typing with DID's over PRI on large systems, however, you usually have to make some changes anyway. I use it occasionally.

There in lies the problem. Usually not all extensions will get a DID number. I like to program all of my DID numbers to a target line and then give them a prime of 2221,(if 2221 is the prime set for the site). That way,all DID's will ring in even if they are not assigned to a DN. After that, I will remove the prime on all DN's (Prime set none) that have a DID number. Most times leaving DRT to Prime=N.

I guess it is really a matter of choice, as everyone is going to do it his or her way.

Ramjet,

You could always PRIME the trunks to 2221 and not assign the DIDs that are not in use. What will happen is the system won;t recognize the digits (as they don't match a target line) and then default to the prime of the trunk..

Brewsky, I said the same thing only in a diff way. I don't assign all of the DID's to DN's, only the rec'd digits of the 100's group to target lines. And like you say, that will allow all of the group to ring the prime if one of the numbers is dialed, whether or not it is actually assigned to a DN.

Well actually we said different things.. I said not to assign the received digits to target lines if they are not assigned to ring on a phone, and then use PRIME on the DID trunks to ring on a certain extension..

Just clarifying is all.. I think it saves time not to assign the target lines.. Especially if the customer has a 100 bank of DIDs but only 15 phones..

I can dig it!
