remote VoIP sites, including non-toll calls completed in the PSTN at the
remote site.
The “Inbound” phonebook for a particular VoIP unit describes the
dialing sequences required for a call to originate remotely from any
other VOIP sites in the system, and to terminate on that particular
VOIP.
Briefly stated,
the MultiVOIP’s Outbound phonebook lists the phone stations
it can call; its Inbound phonebook describes the dialing sequences that can be
used to call that MultiVOIP and how those calls will be directed. (Of course,
the phone numbers are not literally “listed” individually, but are,
instead, described by rule.)
Consider two types of calls in the three-city system described above:
(1) calls originating from the Miami office and terminating in the New
York (Manhattan) office, and (2) calls originating from the Miami office
and terminating in New York City but off the company’s premises in an
adjacent area code, an area code different than the company’s office but
still a local call from that office (e.g., Staten Island).
The first type of call requires an entry in the Outbound PhoneBook of
the Miami VOIP and a coordinated entry in the Inbound phonebook of
the New York VOIP. These entries would allow the Miami caller to dial
the New York office as if its phones were extensions on the Miami PBX.
The second type of call similarly requires an entry in the Outbound
PhoneBook of the Miami VOIP and a coordinated entry in the Inbound
Phonebook of the New York VOIP. However, these entries will be
longer and more complicated. Any Miami call to New York City local
numbers will be sent through the VOIP system rather than through the
regular toll public phone system (PSTN). But the phonebook entries
can be arranged so that the VOIP system is transparent to the Miami
user, such that even though that Miami user dials the New York City
local number just as they would through the public phone system, that
call will still be completed through the VOIP system.
This PhoneBook Configuration procedure is brief, but it is followed by
an example case. For many people, the example case may be easier to
grasp than the procedure steps. Configuration is not difficult, but all
phone number sequences and other information must be entered
exactly; otherwise connections will not be made.
