Server-based Dial Plan 4

Each Net Phone can be configured to follow a local Dial Plan or a Server-based Dial Plan. This is controlled in Net Phone’s Preferences dialog box under the Dialing Tab. How a person accesses outside lines and the numbers to be dialed can be fairly complex and is best administered using a central set of rules and a person familiar with the PBX and local dialing rules. Thus we recommend that a central Dial Plan be established, which will update all users whenever changes are made in the PBX or outside dialing patterns.

Dial Plan Setup

Each area of the US uses a different set of rules for determining which calls are local or long distance calls. The opening pages of your phone book are a good source for how to dial different numbers in your area. Your PBX administrator will also need to define access codes for reaching outside lines. These pages generally define how to dial different areas and provide a listing of prefix codes for the local calling areas. Three typical examples are:

1.Phoenix, AZ – all calls within the "602", “480”, and “623” area codes are considered to be local calls, while all calls outside those area codes are considered long distance.

2.Santa Fe, NM – calls to some office codes within the "505" area code are considered to be local calls, while other calls to the "505" area code are considered long distance.

3.Atlanta, GA – all calls to area codes "770" are considered to be local calls while some calls to the "404" and "678" area codes are also considered to be local calls.

Therefore to correctly handle the dialing of numbers you should create a dialing plan.
