Types of Calls You Can Make

Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to make calls using

ISDN, IP, SIP, or V.35.

The following table lists some possible call combinations.

From…	You can call…	By dialing…

ISDN	ISDN	Phone number

	IP	Phone number of the far-site gateway and
		the extension (E.164 address) of the far
		site.
		Enter the extension after the gateway
		number or wait until the gateway prompts
		you for the extension.

LAN	Networked and	Alias, E.164 address, DNS name, or IP
	Public Sites	address.

	Protected and	Typically, the far site’s gateway number
	Private Sites	then the number of the far-site system.
		Consult with the far site about the best
		method for placing the call.

	ISDN	Access code of the near-site gateway, the
		selected speed code, and the ISDN number
		of the far site.

When you call an IP system through a gateway that requires an extension (E.164 address), enter the extension in the dialing field whenever possible. Check with your network administrator for the extension delimiter you will need to enter into the dialing field. For example, some networks use ## to separate the extension from the IP address.

When you include the extension, you will be given the option of saving both the number and the extension in the directory when the call ends. If you enter the extension after the gateway connects, then you can save only the gateway number when the call ends.
