An analog DID trunk is a line (typically part of a group) that has a group of numbers assigned to it at the telco side.  They work in a variety of ways depending on the telco.  One example is the trunks as Telus provides them.  The end user provides dialtone back to the telco.  When a call comes in on a DID the telco picks up the first available line (remember, the customer is providing dial tone.) and dials the last 4 digits of the dialed number.  They are often replaced by PRIs but in some locations a PRI is not affordable and these provide the same DID functionality for a small fraction of the price.

This is for providing plenty of analog extensions (phones). Is that what
you're after?
