ISDN Number Assignment

 

 

 

Assignment method

The ISDN number assignment method for the devices in this site. The

 

numbers being assigned are endpoint aliases in the form of E.164 numbers,

 

which can be dialed by both IP endpoints registered to the Call Server and

 

ISDN endpoints dialing in through an ISDN gateway.

 

The assignment options are:

 

• No assignment. Select this option when you don’t want to define a range

 

of E.164 aliases for the site.

 

• Manual assignment. Select this option to define a range (or ranges) of

 

E.164 aliases for the site, but not automatically assign those aliases to

 

endpoints.

 

• Automatic assignment. Select this option to define a range (or ranges) of

 

E.164 aliases for the site and automatically assign those aliases to

 

endpoints that register without an alias.

 

After an E.164 alias is assigned to an endpoint, it’s reserved for use as

 

long as that endpoint remains registered with the Polycom

 

RealPresence DMA system.

 

If you decide not to enable Automatic assignment, you can always manually

 

add E.164 aliases to endpoints from the Endpoints page (see Edit Device

 

Dialog Box on page 97). And endpoints will have any aliases with which they

 

register.

 

 

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 dialing rules

Check this box to override the standard 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.
