Provisioning DS-1's

Provisioning spans is achieved through the DS-1 Span which is located within the DS-1 Spans object. There are a couple ways to provision the DS-1's. The information below describes the multiple ways a DS-1 can be provisioned. For additional information on the functionality below, refer to the DS-1 Span topic.

The procedure below assumes the DS-1's have already been configured and are at the point of being able to process calls.

Provisioning a Range Of DS-1's

To provision a range of DS-1's, follow the procedure below.
