Channels in this group emulate network termination

This option only applies if you have enabled integrated call recording on your system. Its purpose is to indicate that the far end of the channel's physical connection is emulating PSTN network termination (NT), such as in a private circuit scenario.

Private circuit

This option allows you to link the currently-selected channel to its counterpart on another site, in order to provide on-net calls. To do so, click on the AddImage Added button and drill-down into the Directory to locate the channel group you would like to select for your

<h2>What is a Channel Group?</h2>

<p>A <span class="reference">Channel Group</span> is any group of channels or lines coming into your organisation.</p>

<h2>Adding a Channel Group</h2>

<p>To add a Channel Group to the Directory, simply select <span class="button">Channel Group</span> from the <span class="reference">Organisation unit</span> list and give it a name that represents its function 
e.g. "Main Aberdeen ISDN 30" as shown below. Then click <span class="button">Add</span> to put in to your Directory.</p>

<p>There are no limits to the amount of Channel Groups you can add so you can set up all your ISDN, analogue, fax lines and  private circuits exactly as they are on your switch. You simply select the Channel Group, give it a name and add it.</p>

<p>Your Channel Groups will appear in the Directory as follows:</p>

<p>Please note that a channel group on one site can be linked to its counterpart on another site to provide on-net calls. To do this, click on the <span class="reference">Channel Group</span> and select <span class="button">Properties</span>. A screen similar to the following will appear. Then go to the <span class="button">Private circuit</span> tab and click on the
