●Flexible Network Routing

Use network routes to set up ISDN and VoIP networking between many separate systems - or

use mixed (ISDN or VoIP) networking per system for greater network performance. Data

tables in the system program deﬁne the routing for each network node. These tables are easily

customized to meet the requirements of each networking conﬁguration.

Users may place an intercom call or transfer a call to any extension at any location by simply

dialing an extension number. The system analyzes each extension number received and deter-

mines how to route the call to its ﬁnal destination. The feature which handles this route selec-

tion is called Flexible Routing (F-Routing). F-Routing also has the ability to select alternate

routes to the destination extension if the primary destination is busy. Up to 48 routes are avail-

able for networking. Once an extension number is dialed, the system checks the routing,

accesses the assigned trunk group and places the call. Each extension is assigned a route or

routes that decides which trunk group to access and any modiﬁed dialed data if required.

When an Aspire system is connected via a VoIP connection to an i-Series system in a tie-line

type setup, in order to transfer calls from the Aspire system to the i-Series, in addition to the

VoIP programs speciﬁed in the VoIP feature (page 643), set up the Flexible Routing Tables as

follows:

●Program 44-05-01 : ARS/F-Route Table ; Table Number 1 = 9 (Trunk Group for Aspire

VoIP Trunk)

●Program 10-23-02 : H.323 System Interconnection, IP Address ; System Number 3 =

172.16.9.10 (IP Address for i-Series System)

●Program 10-23-04 : H.323 System Interconnection, Alias Address ; System Number 3

= 4 (For Dial 4 Calls)

With this programming, the Aspire system will wait for the Trunk Interdigit Timer to expire

before dialing out after an i-Series extension (4xxx) is dialed.

If the F-Routing is set up with Program 44-05-01; Table Number 1 set to 103 (Networking)

and Program 10-27-01; System ID 3 = 172.16.9.10 (IP Address for i-Series), though the

i-Series system will be able to transfer calls to the Aspire, the Aspire system will not be able to

transfer to the i -Series.

PRI Networking With Two Local Voice Mails, Masters Must Have Different Numbering

When programming a PRI network with each system having their own local voice mail, the master

numbers for the voice mails must be deﬁned in different series in Program 11-01. The second digit

of the extension number can not be the same. For example, 700 and 701 will not work, however 700

and 710 can be used.
