Multi-Site VoIP Management - Enterprise Manager
Multi-site management through Enterprise Manager includes:
VoIP domain - when networking multiple AltiGen systems from different sites, one
system can be assigned as VoIP domain controller to propagate configuration data to
member systems.
Directory Synchronization - when a new extension is added to one of the member
systems and configured as Global extension, the VoIP domain controller will propagate
this extension to all member systems. Every member system within the VoIP domain will
be able to see the extension number plan of other systems.
Multi-site Call Routing - when a user dials an extension number that is not a local
extension number, the system will search the Domain extension list. If a list is found,
the system will dial the number by using the IP address and extension number stored in
the Domain extension list.
Domain User Management - The VoIP domain controller can resolve the conflict if
duplicated extension numbers are created in different member systems. This feature
also manages extension relocation. When an extension user is relocated to another
member system, its voice mail and greeting can be moved along with it.
Global Least Cost Routing - when multiple systems are in different area codes or
countries, the administrator can set up Global Least Cost Routing to route long distance
or international calls through member systems. The routing rules are propagated to all
members automatically.
Global Dial-by-Name and Greeting Synchronization - Caller using the dial-by-name
feature from any system within the VoIP domain can search the entire global directory.
The global extension’s greeting is replicated to all systems within the VoIP domain.
Global Extension Relocation by User - When a global extension user travels to any
site, the user can dial #27 to log in to the local server. Enterprise relocates the user’s
extension setting and voice mail to the local server and activates the extension as a
physical extension. All member systems receive an update notice from Enterprise
Manager to change the routing destination.
Global DID Number List - The DID number field is part of the global extension
configuration. When a call comes in with a DID number, the system looks for a local
extension with the same DID number first. If the system cannot find a matching local
extension, it will match the global extension DID number and route the call.
Global Extension Appearance - With proper configuration, the IP phone user can see
the following information for a global extension in the VoIP domain: line state (idle, busy,
ring, error), extension status (DND), and activity (presence). This information can be
displayed in MaxCommunicator/MaxAgent/AltiConsole and on the IP phone. Limitation:
For display only; user cannot answer calls for the global extension.
Global Intercom - An extension user can dial #93 + Global Ext. to intercom a Global
extension (through a SIP tie trunk.
Optional Add-On Software
The following software is optional:
AltiConsole - a Windows-based Attendant console connected to MAXCS over a network;
emulates a standard, hardware-based Attendant console through software; has the
flexibility of adding new features through software without changing the hardware.
