To change the location, select the extension number in the list of
extensions, then click the Previous or Next buttons to change the slot and
channel settings until the location you want is displayed. Like other
changes, this change isn’t finalized until you click Apply.
Setting an IP Extension
The IP Extension option allows an H.323 compliant terminal device (IP
phone) to connect to AltiServ. IP extensions have the same features as
analog stations. For system requirements and limitations on setting up IP
extensions, see Chapter 16, Setting Up IP Extensions.
To use the IP Extension option, check the Enable IP Extension, then set
the IP addressing by choosing either Dynamic or Static IP Addressing. If
you choose Static addressing, you need to type in a Logon IP Address.
The type of addressing you use affects users:
• Using static IP addressing, the extension user logs in from the station
having the IP address. An advantage for virtual extensions is that the
user doesn’t have to log in at all; when the user connects to the system,
the extension is immediately recognized as an IP extension. When
physical extensions connect, on the other hand, the system prompts the
user to log in. Static addressing is more convenient for users and may
be preferred by users who work primarily at a specific location.
Important:
If you enter the server’s IP address as the Logon, IP trunk calls
from another AltiServ system will receive a dial tone rather
than the Auto Attendant. From the dial tone, callers can dial
extension numbers on this system.
• Using dynamic IP addressing, the IP extension can log in from any
IP address. However, the IP extensions must always log in via the Auto
Attendant and log into voice mail to activate the IP extension. Users
who travel may well prefer dynamic addressing.
Note:
AltiGen IP Phone extension users should not activate their IP
Phone by logging into voicemail — instead, #27 should be
used to log in.
Important:
When you enable dynamic IP addressing, a physical extension
on one AltiServ system can effectively disable the Auto
Attendant for system-to-system IP calls to the second system.
This happens if a physical extension on one system calls a
second system via an IP trunk, logs into an extension, and
