call to an extension that is not located at your own site, your NBX system sets up a connection to the NBX system at the other extension’s site.

In this example, to call a user in Dallas, a user in Chicago dials a Dallas extension (3000 through 3999). The dial plan on the Chicago NBX system sets up the necessary connection to the Dallas NBX system and then to the extension at that site.
