Overview of Virtual Tie Lines 89
Figure 28 Multi-site network using Virtual Tie Lines
In the sample network shown in Figure 28, each site is set up to use a
unique range of telephone extensions. The dial plan on each of the
systems is configured so that whenever a call is made to an extension not
located at the local site, the NBX system sets up a VTL connection to the
appropriate site.
To make a call to a user in Dallas, a user in Chicago dials a Dallas
extension (3000 through 3999). The dial plan on the Chicago NBX system
is configured to set up the necessary VTL connection to the Dallas NBX
system, and then to the extension at that site.
See “Dial Plan Configuration” later in this chapter for further information
on how to set up VTLs in the dial plan.
