Call-Handling Scenarios

This chapter helps you plan and understand private network configurations. It includes the following two main topics:

■Networking Guidelines. This section describes the factors that you must consider when planning a private network or managing one or more systems in an existing private network.

■Network Configuration Scenarios. This section illustrates generally how systems can be set up and how calls can be made and received in several example private network configurations. “Scenario 2: Two Systems, Tandem Tie Facilities,” provides a descriptive business example that helps you see how private network features work in a real-world business.

To help you plan further and understand your private network, Chapter 3, “Feature Interactions,” summarizes the ways that features work in private networks. Security issues are discussed in depth in Chapter 4, “Security,” and you should read this chapter in order to fine-tune such settings as Facility Restriction Levels (FRLs) for Automatic Route Selection (ARS), extensions, Uniform Dial Plan (UDP) ranges and routing, Remote Access, and extensions.
