Chapter 4 Configuring SPA9000 Features

Basic Call Management

The <Interdigit_Short_Timer> specifies the default maximum time (in seconds) allowed between dialed digits, when at least one candidate digit sequence is complete as dialed (see the following discussion of Dial_Plan parameters for an explanation of candidate digit sequences).

Dial Plans

ParName	Dial_Plan[n] for Each Line n
	(*xx [3469]11 0 00 <:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx
Default	1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx 011x. )

The Dial_Plan parameters contain the actual dial plan scripts for each line n, where n is a number from 1 to 4.

Receiving External Phone Calls

To receive external phone calls from the Internet, the SPA9000 must be configured with the Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number assigned by the ITSP. Usually this is the same as the user ID, but it can be different.

You must also identify the IP phones that ring when an outside caller calls each DID number. The default is aa, which stands for Auto-Attendant, an automated system that picks up external calls and plays pre-recorded voice messages. If you want only the Auto-Attendant to receive a call, keep the default setting. When the Auto-Attendant receives a call, it prompts the caller to dial the appropriate extension.

To identify specific IP phones to ring when the DID number is called, use the <Contact List> parameter, described in Chapter 6, “SPA9000 Field Reference.”

Calling Between Client Stations

To make an internal call from a client station, a user dials the extension number of the target client station. The initial INVITE message is sent to the SIP Proxy. One of the following can happen:

•No client station currently registered with the called number—The SPA9000 replies 404 to the calling station and terminates the call.
