Configuring Max-to-Max Calling
Callers may access a port on a remote Max 8/16 from another Max
device (Max-to-Max) by dialing *72 followed by the receiving port’s
virtual number, which is the first ten digits of its account number.
If the receiving port is an FXS port, the telephone connected to the
port will ring.
If the receiving port is an FXO port, it permits callers to use its PBX
as though they were on a local PBX telephone extension, subject to
the options set by the receiving unit’s system manager in its Max-to-
Max IVR Configuration Table. Callers must use the remote PBX’s
dialing plan. For example, if PBX users at the remote site dial 9 for
an outside line, the callers must also do so.
The Max-to-Max IVR Configuration Table allows the system manager
to configure the way a Max 8/16’s FXO ports will respond to VoIP
calls it receives from other Max units.
In the Max-to-Max IVR Configuration Table:
1. Make sure the FXO port you are configuring is connected to
the analog line card on the PBX unit.
2. Select one of the following five modes: (only one mode at a
time may be selected)
•
IVR Off – When IVR Off is selected for a port, callers
to the port get an immediate PBX dial tone and can
use the PBX’s facilities without restriction.
•
Play Welcome Only – When this option is selected,
callers to the port hear a welcome message, “Welcome
to Net2Phone. Please enter the number you wish to
call.” It then permits them to use the PBX as if they
were on one of its local telephones. Callers must use
the remote PBX’s dialing plan. For example, if a PSTN
number is entered, it must include any required
preliminary digits, such as 9, to get an outside line.
•
Password Request Only – This option prevents
unauthorized access to the FXO port on which it is set.
Callers are asked to enter a password through the
telephone keypad before access to the PBX is
permitted.
To configure this option, you must create a password
in the Password column. The password may consist of
no more than 5 numeric characters.
•
Welcome and Password – This option combines the
two functions described above.
•
Use Forwarding Number – Select this IVR option for
a port if you wish to have incoming calls to that port
forwarded to a specified number automatically, without
notice to the caller. Any PSTN telephone number, or a
