Description

 

 

 

 

Dialing method

The ISDN inward dialing method for the site:

 

 

• DID (Direct Inward Dial). Select this option if your

 

 

ISDN gateway is provisioned with a range of phone

 

 

numbers from the ISDN service provider, and each

 

 

of these numbers will be assigned to an endpoint as

 

 

an alias.

 

 

• Gateway Extension Dialing. Select this option if

 

 

your ISDN gateway’s ISDN connection is

 

 

provisioned with a single gateway phone number

 

 

from the ISDN service provider, and endpoints will

 

 

be assigned an extension (E.164 alias) that’s

 

 

internal to the company and doesn’t correspond to

 

 

any number that can be dialed on the PSTN.

 

 

Endpoints can be dialed from the PSTN by dialing

 

 

the ISDN gateway phone number, followed by a

 

 

delimiter (usually a #) and the extension number.

 

 

The gateway receives the full number from the

 

 

PSTN and dials only the extension number on the

 

 

IP network.

 

 

 

 

ISDN Outbound Dialing

 

 

 

 

Override ITU

Check this box to override the standard dialing rules,

 

dialing rules

established by the International Telecommunications

 

 

Union, when dialing out using an ISDN gateway.

 

 

The default setting, which does not override ITU dialing

 

 

rules, is usually accurate for placing outbound calls.

 

 

Enable this setting if you find that ISDN gateway calls

 

 

from registered endpoints in this site are unsuccessful.

 

 

 

 

PBX access code

The code needed to access the ISDN/PSTN network

 

 

through the site’s PBX when dialing out.

 

 

 

 

Country code

The country code for the site’s location. Click the CC

 

 

button to select from a list of countries.

 

 

To apply ITU dialing rules, the system must compare the

 

 

country code of the gateway site with the country code

 

 

of the call’s destination.

 

 

 

 

Area code

The city or area code for the site’s location. Leading

 

 

zeroes are optional. For example, the city code for Paris

 

 

is 01, but you can enter either 01 or 1 in this field.

 

 

To apply ITU dialing rules, the system must compare the

 

 

area code of the gateway site with the area code of the

 

 

call’s destination.

 

 

 

 

Always dial area

Specifies that the area code should always be included

 

code

in the phone number.

 

 

 

 

Always dial

Specifies that the national prefix should always be

 

national prefix

included in the phone number.
