Defining An Ip Dialing Table; About The Location Id Digit Length - Altigen Altiware OE 4.5 System Administration & Installation Manual

You can type an area code alone, or an area code + prefix if needed. When
you type the area code and prefix, optionally you can connect them with a
single hyphen—for example, 510-487, or 212-677. The optional hyphen is
for your convenience and readability. Using the same examples, 510487
and 212677 are also valid entries.

Defining an IP Dialing Table

To use an AltiServ-to-AltiServ connection for voiceover IP, you need to
configure the routing in the IP Dialing Table for each AltiServ system.
Note:
To enable VoIP, you must have at least one Triton VoIP board
installed and configured. (The IP Dialing Table is disabled unless
there is at least one VoIP board installed.) You also must have
assigned an IP Trunk Access code, as discussed in "Assigning
Trunk, IP Trunk, & Route Access" on page 106, and you must set
the VoIP codecs as discussed in "Setting VoIP Codecs" on page
197.

About the Location ID Digit Length

In the IP dialing table, you define the addresses of the remote locations and
set a Location ID Digit Length. The dialing length sets the length of the
Location ID, the number you define in the dialing table to identify each
remote location.
The Location ID is used in dialing: the user dials the IP trunk access,
followed by the location ID to identify the remote location, followed by the
remote extension. For example, if the IP trunk access is 8, the location ID
is 27, and the extension to reach is 837, the user dials 8 27 837.
The Location ID Digit Length can be set to None, 1, 2, or 3—a seemingly
simple choice. However simple it seems, though, it needs to be given some
thought before it is set. Location IDs are used system wide, and a
coordinated configuration is recommended. It is highly recommended to
use the same length for the location ID for all networked AltiServ systems.
It may also be advantageous to use the same location IDs at all locations.
For example, if the location ID for the Chicago office is 12 when dialed
from both San Francisco and New York, users who travel will find it easier
to work at multiple locations.
