Thanks, I'm struggling with the digital trunk systems.

Don't worry, everyone struggles with Trunking to start out...just give it time and keep reading as much as possible about the different types of systems out there...sooner or later you will have a "Eureka!" moment where all of the pieces will come together and you will understand how the systems are setup...just don't give up and keep pluggin' away at it!
Happy Monitoring!
