3.3. H.323 Trunks and Signaling Groups The steps in this section create an H.323 IP trunk group to the QuesCom 400 IP/GSM. Step Description Enter the change node-names ip command. Specify the node name and IP address for the QuesCom 400. Observe the node name of the C-LAN card shown in bold. These node names will be used in the configuration of the H.323 signalling group in Step 4.
In the sample configuration described in these Application Notes, when placing outbound calls to the public network, stations on Avaya Communication Manager must first dial the ARS Feature Access Code (FAC) before dialing an external number. The single digit “9” was used as the ARS FAC in the compliance-tested configuration (configuration step not shown).

Step 1. Add two routing preference entries as follows: 1) First Routing Preference – H.323 IP trunk to QuesCom 400 • Grp No – enter the trunk group number routed to the QuesCom 400 gateway (see Section 3.3, Step 2) •...
3.5. Avaya Extension to Cellular(EC500) Configuration Avaya Extension to Cellular allows a cell phone to be treated as if it were an extension defined in Avaya Communication Manager. This is accomplished by mapping the user’s main office phone to the cellular telephone number. All other types of calls, such as direct calls to and from the published cell phone number, are unaffected by Extension to Cellular.

The main objectives were to verify that: • When internal extensions place outbound calls to GSM numbers, the calls are routed to the QuesCom 400, and the QuesCom 400 decides on the least cost routing and routes the call to the GSM network.
6. Verification Steps This section provides the tests that can be performed to verify proper configuration of Avaya Communication Manager and QuesCom 400. Step Description From the SAT, enter the command status signaling-group s, where s is the number of a signaling group configured in Section 3.3,...
