Expanded Database
The Expanded Database is a new database method that provides database records (memory) for all possible
extensions, trunks, Hunt Groups, Ring Groups, and Voice Mail ports. This new capability allows for:
● Simpli fi ed installation of Voice Mail, Hunt Groups, and Ring Groups.
● Support for built-in IntraMail Voice Mail
● Introduction of the DS-Series PC Program.
To understand the Expanded Database, you’ll need to keep track of three things: port, station (or trunk) num-
ber, and extension number.
● Port
The port is where the device you are programming connects to the system. There is a separate set of
ports for digital stations, analog stations, analog Door Boxes, and trunks.
● Station Number and Trunk Number
The station or trunk number is the element in software that keeps track of the connected devices’s pro-
gramming. Station and trunk numbers (and associated database records) exist for all possible devices you
can connect to the system, even if you don’t have any ports installed to connect them. You can’t call sta-
tion and trunk numbers directly – you need the associated extension numbers to do that (see below).
● Extension Numbers
Extension numbers allow you to access the stations and trunks. By default, each station and trunk num-
ber has an extension number assigned to it. You can change these assignments if you want to. Digital
station ports have primary and secondary station numbers. The primary station’s extension number is
used to call the device connected to the port. The secondary station’s extension number calls the second
channel on 2-channel devices such as 2-OPX Modules and Digital VANGARD Voice Mail ports.
Default Numbering in DS1000
Here is how the ports, station numbers, trunk numbers, and extension numbers are initially set up:
When setting up your system, do not exceed the system’s Load Factor capacity.
See System Load Factor Calculations on page 1-3 for more.
Default Numbering
Stations (Telephones) Ports Station Numbers Extension Numbers
Digital Station 1-16 1-16 300-315
Analog Station 1-8 17-24 316-323
Door Box 1, 2 25-26 324, 325
Unassigned
1
- 27-34 326-333
Total Station Ports 34 - -
• To fi nd out the default extension number for any station number, add 299 to the station number.
- For example, station number 1 uses extension number 300 (1 + 299).
Trunks Ports Trunk Numbers Extension Numbers
Trunk Ports 1-6 1-6 101-106
Total Trunk Ports 6 - -
• To fi nd out the default extension number for a trunk number, add 100 to the trunk number.
- For example, trunk number 1 uses extension number 101 (1 + 100).
