gateway prompts you for the extension

 

 

and then use the remote to enter it.

Access code of the near-site gateway, the

 

 

selected speed code, the ISDN 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 and then use the

 

 

remote to enter it.

 

 

 

 

ISDN

Access code of the near site’s 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 service provider 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.
