You can conÞgure the following system-level voice parameters:

Voice Node Number

This number identiÞes the SmartSwitch 1800 as the source or destination node in call setup frames. This number must be the Þrst four digits of each long-dial number, and is the number that must be dialed to reach a remote device. If a speed-dial number is conÞgured for the long-dial number, the operator can enter that speed-dial number, and the Þrmware will read the long-dial number from the speed-dial map table.

Country Code

This code is a telephone preÞx code that identiÞes the country in which the SmartSwitch is installed. The following table contains a list of country codes.
