Types of Calls You Can Make

Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to make calls using

ISDN, IP, SIP, or V.35.

The following table lists some possible call combinations.

From… You can call… By dialing…

ISDN Phone number ISDN

IP Phone number of the far-site gateway and

the extension (E.164 address) of the far

site.

Enter the extension after the gateway

number or wait until the gateway prompts

you for the extension.

Networked and

Public Sites Alias, E.164 address, DNS name, or IP

address.

Protected and

Private Sites Typically, the far site’s gateway number

then the number of the far-site system.

Consult with the far site about the best

method for placing the call.

LAN

ISDN Access code of the near-site gateway, the

selected speed code, and the ISDN number

of the far site.

When you call an IP system through a gateway that requires an extension (E.164

address), enter the extension in the dialing field whenever possible. Check with your

network administrator for the extension delimiter you will need to enter into the dialing

field. For example, some networks use ## to separate the extension from the IP

address.

When you include the extension, you will be given the option of saving both the number

and the extension in the directory when the call ends. If you enter the extension after

the gateway connects, then you can save only the gateway number when the call ends.
