Using Direct Inward Dialing to Phone Extensions
Direct Inward Dialing allows the external users to dial directly any phone extension in the LVS system,
without passing through the Auto Attendant or the receptionist .
Before proceeding with the configuration you need to have the full correspondence between the
external (DID) number and the extension number .
NOTE:
Direct Inward Dialing requires network support for SIP trunking DID .
–
It is important that the DID number format match exactly the format of the number signaled
–
in the SIP trunk .
Please check with your Service Provider to confirm the availability of this feature and the
–
correct DID number format, before proceeding with this configuration .
