How to Configure a Virtual Tie Line 85
Max = 6) sequence. Entry 101 watches for the 2-digit sequence 63
followed by a 4-digit extension and specifies route 523 whenever a user
dials such a 6-digit sequence. The choice of route numbers is made by the
person configuring the dial plans for the sites.
Two DestinationRoute Create commands create routes 522 and 523. The
Description field contains any text you want to use to describe each
route.
Two DestinationRouteEntry Create commands specify th e extension list
for routes 522 and 523. Extension list *0006 is the default extension list
for VTLs.
For each DestinationRoute, two DestinationRouteOperation Create
commands perform two functions:
■The stripLead command removes the two digits (62 or 63) leaving the
4-digit extension the user dialed.
■The prepend command adds the IP Address of the destination NBX
system to the extension that the user dialed. In this example, the IP
address for Atlanta is 192.169.25.100 and for Dallas, the IP address is
192.168.35.100. In the dial plan, you must use an asterisk (*) instead
of a period (.) to separate the fields within the IP address, and to
separate the IP address from the destination extension.

Extension List
The final step in activating the virtual tie lines is to add the VTL extensions
to the appropriate extension list (*0006).
