Long-distance prefix. Prefix required to dial a long-distance number from the Server location.

In the U.S., enter 1. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, the long-distance prefix is typically 0.

International prefix. Prefix required to dial an international number from the Server location. In the U.S., enter 011. Outside of the U.S., the international prefix is typically 00.

Area code. City or area code for local phone numbers.

Dial local numbers without area code. If checked, Strata CS strips the area code from local numbers before dialing. In most areas, this field should be checked, unless the service allocates trunks that only support long-distance numbers, or always expect numbers to include area codes.

nInclude long-distance prefix in area code. If checked, Strata CS assumes that the long-distance prefix is always included with the area code, as in the U.K. for example, 0181. This field is only available for a Phone Number service, and is disabled in the U.S.

Codecs tab

When you add a dialing service of the type Internet Address (see page 8-14), Internet-to-Phone Number (see page 8-15), or Internet-to-Centrex/PBX Extension(see page 8-17), you can default to the codecs specified for the Internet span or override the default and specify one or more codecs for this service. For a complete discussion of codecs, including which ones to choose, see “Modifying Strata CS IP codecs” on page 5-22.

You can create different IP services optimized for specific uses, for example, one IP service with codecs optimized for Net Meeting, and another with codecs optimized for Strata CS-to-Strata CS communication over IP.

Note: The default is to use the codecs set up at the span level. If you want to use the default codecs, you do not need to make any changes on the Codecs tab. The Codecs tab does not display the default codecs assigned at the Internet span level. To view the default codecs, you must display the span properties in the Trunks view.

If you decide to override the default codecs for the span, arrange the codecs in the order in which you prefer to use them. For example, you may prefer one codec over another to get greater bandwidth or better voice quality.
