How can I configure my POTS ports using more than one MSN?
If you have received more than one MSN with your ISDN access you can
use the different numbers to route calls to the appropriate port.
The configuration uses the same Setup Tool menus as the POTS con-
figuration with only one MSN.
Let’s assume you received the three MSNs 7654, 7655 and 7656 with
your ISDN access, and you want to connect analog telephones to POTS
port A and B.
The telephone at port A should accept all calls for MSN 7654, the tele-
phone at port B should accept calls for MSN 7655, and both telephones
should accept calls for MSN 7656.
Before you begin
You need to know your ISDN telephone numbers, which of these num-
bers to use for which POTS port, and which device is connected to which
POTS port.
Configure it
POTS A Type
Select the type of device connected to port A using the spacebar. In
our example this would be telephony.
Ext. Number
Add a new external number entry. Use the ISDN telephone number
you want to use for this telephone as External Number, 7654 in our
example, and set the Direction field to both with the spacebar. This
means that this number will be used for both incoming and outgoing
calls.
Now add another external number, using the common ISDN number,
7656 in our example, and set the direction to incoming. This handles
the calls for both telephones.
Note:
You can have an arbitrary number of incoming entries, but
you should configure only one outgoing or both entry for
each POTS port.
