ISDN Directory setup
The ISDN Directory Number Setup screen is used to add, edit and remove ISDN Directory
Number (phone number) entries. ISDN BRI lines allow the user to choose multiple Directory
numbers per line. OmniConnect access devices allow a total of 8 DNs to be configured.
Directory Number configuration is completely flexible; all available DNs may be assigned to
any number of POTS lines or assigned to a single POTS line. The OmniConnect/ISDN access
device supports a single POTS line and therefore all available DNs are assigned to this single
line. The OmniConnect access device refers to each POTS line as an extension. The first
POTS line is assigned Extension 1. Directory Number information is used by the
OmniConnect to perform call management duties such as call forwarding and distinctive
ringing. Based upon the information provided on this screen and the incoming caller ID, the
extension associated with the incoming phone number is rung or forwarded to a separate
number. For example, if the OmniConnect/ISDN access device detects an incoming call to a
particular phone number assigned to 4085552121, as shown in the illustration above,
extension 1 will be rung using a normal ring and call forwarding will be ignored.
Note:
The OmniConnect access devices give priority to the Caller ID settings. If an
incoming call matches any of the Caller ID settings, they will be used to determine
the ring status and forwarding status of the call. Only if the Caller ID is not
matched, will the ISDN Directory Number settings be used. A single entry for every
assigned DN must be present on this screen.
The ISDN Directory Setup screen displays a list of all available phone numbers that have
been added and the parameters associated with each number. The two phone numbers that are
usually entered in the ISDN configuration screens are automatically entered here and default
to
Normal
ringing on extension 1, with call forwarding off.
As with the Caller ID setup, for each entry listed, the user is able to set four parameters:
•
EXT#
- the extension number to dial (this defaults to 1 for the
OmniConnect/ISDN and is the only possible option for this product.
