Telephony Features
This chapter explains how to set the telephony variables of the Mediatrix 4104 to define the way the unit
handles calls.
Making Calls
Users with telephones or faxes connected to a Mediatrix 4104 dial as if they were on a standard telephony
system.
Complete Dialing Sequence
There are three ways to indicate the dialed number sequence is complete and the Mediatrix 4104 can dial the
number:

The administrator has set up the dialing process so that you must end the telephone number
with a particular character to indicate it is complete, e.g., a “#”.

The administrator has set up the dialing process with a timer. This timer checks the dialing
process and, when no further digits have been dialed for the time set by the administrator, it
assumes the number is complete and dials it.

The administrator has set up the Mediatrix 4104 so it knows exactly how many digits it must
collect before it places the call. It finds the number of digits to collect by looking at the first few
numbers dialed. For example: a telephone number beginning by 1 should be followed by 10
more digits in North America.
Dialing a Telephone Number or Numerical Alias
This section assumes that the Mediatrix 4104 is configured to do SCN emulation. The Mediatrix 4104 could
be configured to do any other kind of emulation, thus its users would simply have to dial as if they were using
their old system.

To dial a Standard Call:
1. Dial the telephone number as if you were using a standard telephone, with country code and area
code when required.
Examples :
223
8298749
15145701234
A Standard Call uses the server to contact the remote dialed user. The server takes the decision
about redirecting the call on the SCN or keeping it on the network. Keeping the call on the network
takes precedence over redirecting it on the SCN. If the call needs to go on the SCN, the server
redirects it to a proper analog gateway (such as the Mediatrix 1204) that will place the call to the
SCN network.
Note:
You can dial one star numbers *xx (such as *69). These numbers are automatically inserted in the
Request-URL of the SIP INVITE request.
