The IP Gateway’s extension is not meant to be dialed directly; it does not appear in the Client or the dial-by-name list, and calls to that extension will not go through. The extension is merely used behind the scenes to let remote Servers connect.

You can use the IP Gateway to control remote users’ dialing permissions when placing calls through your Server. For example, if you are the administrator of the London Server, and you want to prevent Boston users from placing long-distance calls through your Server, you edit the dialing permissions of the IP Gateway “Boston.”

Each remote Strata CS Server that you connect to over the Internet requires a separate IP Gateway. For example, if your Server connects to Servers in London and Chicago, you create two IP Gateways, called “London” and “Chicago.”
