Dumb criminal of the week

G'Day,

The NTP's for Media/ITG cards refer to virtual loop. Are virtual loops the same as phantom loops? If not, what is the difference and how does one program a virtual loop.

Thanks,

Re: Turkey Day

Virtual loops and phantom loops are two very different things and cannot be interchanged.

At the SUPL prompt use precede the supl number with N for phantom and V for virtual.

Any CDR records experts out there?

Thanks Slag,

That is good info to know. Can you recommend any NTP's that outline or describe phantom and virtual SUPL's. I would like to know the details.

Thanks again,

Taken from Document Number: 553-3001-306 Features and Services book 3 CS1000 4.5

Non-physical Loops

Non-physical Loops exist in software with no physical hardware associated
with them. There are two types of non-physical Loops:

1 Phantom Loops
2 Virtual Loops


***Phantom Loops****

There are different ways in which Phantom Loops are used. Phantom Loops are used for the following functionalities:

• Phantom TNs—These are programmed as 500/2500 TNs (with no
physical hardware). They have Default Call Forwarding DNs
programmed to redirect calls to physical telephones. This forwarding can
be changed by a user from a physical telephone using the Remote Call
Forward feature.

• Virtual Sets—There are two types of Virtual Sets. They are:

— Proprietary analogue and digital TNs (programmed as BCS,
M2XXX, and M3XXX series TNs). The Telelink Mobility Switch 1
feature introduced this type of TN for use with the Personal
Communications Service (PCS).

— M3900 (Singe Site) Virtual Office Terminals - These are the virtual
M3903 and M3904 TNs programmed for use by Virtual Office
Workers with the M3900 (Single Site) Virtual Office feature. The
Host TNs (physical telephones) that users log in on are not
considered to be Virtual Sets and they are not programmed on
Phantom Loops.

***Virtual Loops***

Virtual TNs are programmed on Virtual Loops.
The following types of telephones and trunks are included in the count of
Virtual TNs:
• Basic IP user
• IP user
• PCA
• H.323 Access Ports
• ITG ISDN trunks
• SIP Access ports
• DECT users

Capacities
A superloop cannot have both Phantom and Virtual TNs configured.
Phantom Loops and Virtual Loops have different densities and are not
interchangeable.T
