Variations in PBX Characteristics

The exact dialing strings needed in the Outbound and Inbound Phonebooks of the MVP2400/2410 will depend on the capabilities of the PBX. Some PBXs require trunk access codes (like an “8” or “9” to access an outside line or to access the VOIP network). Other PBXs can automatically distinguish between intra-PBX calls, PSTN calls, and VOIP calls.

Some PBX units can also insert digits automatically when they receive certain dialing strings from a phone station. For example, a PBX may be programmable to insert automatically the three-digit VOIP identifier strings into calls to be directed to analog VOIPs.

The MVP2400/2410 offers complete flexibility for inter-operation with PBX units so that a coherent dialing scheme can be established to connect a company’s multiple sites together in a way that is convenient and intuitive for phone users. When working together with modern PBX units, the presence of the MVP2400/2410 can be completely transparent to phone users within the company.
