Adding a Phone

To allow your bridge/router to dial out, configure the dial number list

using:

 

ADD !<port> -PORT DialNoList “<phone no>” [Baud = <rate>

 

(1.2–16000)] [Type = Modem Bri Sw56] [Pos = <number>]

 

Enter this command for each phone number you want to add to the dial

 

list. If you do not specify a position, the number will be added to the end

 

of the list.

 

If you are using a dial pool, you may want to have several phone numbers

 

specifying different types (modem, BRI, or Switched 56) or baud rates so

 

if the first number fails on a 28.8 Kbps modem, for instance, the second

 

number is used for a 64 Kbps ISDN line.

 

You can use hyphens (-) in your phone number. For ISDN, the phone

 

number includes a dial prefix, country code, and area code and possibly a

 

subaddress. If you specify a subaddress, you must separate the phone

 

number from the subaddress with a semicolon (;).

 

You can configure up to 16 phone numbers per port.

call again using the same phone number. The call attempts continue until

 

the dial retry count is reached.

Dialing the Same

You can configure the dial number list to dial the same number

entering:
