System Functions and Features as of I7.9 2. 2. 8 Shared Numbering Plan PISN users are structured in the internal numbering plans of the PINX. From the PINX’s viewpoint its own users are internal users and the users of the other PINXs are PISN users.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 2. 2. 9 PISN with different Regions A PISN can be divided into several regions. Each region is identified by its regional prefix. Users who call a user in a different region first dial the prefix of the destination re- gion, then the internal number of the user they want.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 Identification Elements Correctly identifying and displaying a call is the essential requirement for adequately implementing the system's networking philosophy. This Chapter looks at how the ori- gin of a call is identified using different ringing tone patterns and how the caller's number (CLIP) or name (CNIP) is displayed.

System Functions and Features as of I7.9 Alternative for the Aastra 5300, Aastra 5300ip series of system terminals and the Aastra 2380ip IP softphone Different ringing melodies can be configured separately in the terminal configura- tion for each system terminal to help differentiate between internal and external calls.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 3. 2 Displaying Numbers (CLIP) and Names (CNIP) During both the ringing phase and the call itself the caller’s call number or name (or both) are shown on the terminal’s display. • The indication of the caller’s phone number is referred to as CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation).
Page 39
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 The CLIP and COLP numbers also contain the information of the NPI numbering plan type and the TON Type of Number (see "Numbering Plan Identifiers", page 15). The system needs this additional information for a correct number analysis, partic- ularly as a PINX in a PISN.

CLIP from A CLIP from C haz1028aaena0 Fig. 11 CLIP of an incoming and an outgoing call CLIP of an Incoming Call User A calls user B: User A sends his CLIP, which is received in the PBX by the trunk group, processed and displayed to user B.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 3. 3. 1 Analysing and Editing the CLIP The following information is necessary for specifying the CLIP properties in a PISN correctly. . This sub-chapter can be skipped in the case of the configuration of a stand-alone PBX.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 3. 3. 2 Presentation of the CLIP on the Terminal Call from the Public Network If a call originates from the public network, the prefix for Business exchange access followed by a hyphen is added to the CLIP number (e.g. 0-333 33 33) so that the called party can call back simply by dialling the number displayed.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 3. 3. 3 Replicating the Name Display in the PBX The PBX will try to assign a name to the CLIP number of an incoming call from the public network and to display that name on the system terminal (CNIP). A search is therefore carried out in the PBX card files for a match for the CLIP number.

System Functions and Features as of I7.9 3. 8 CLIP on analogue exchange accesses The system A150 and A300 are capable of receiving the number of incoming calls on analogue exchange accesses and forwarding it to terminals. This requires a number of settings to be made in AIMS.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 Routing elements The purpose of a routing element is to distribute incoming and outgoing calls to their destinations. This Chapter features all the elements involved in call routing. The settings allocated to a routing element are carried out in the system configuration. The multi- tude of setting options does, however, involve a considerable amount of configuration.
Page 72
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 Network interfaces Network interfaces provide the access to the PBX from the outside. The settings for the network interfaces are used to specify network-specific characteristics (e.g. point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connection or the distribution of B channel groups at the primary rate access).

System Functions and Features as of I7.9 User Groups In a user group incoming and internal calls are routed to a group of internal desti- nations in accordance with a pre-configured call distribution pattern (see page 100). User configuration All the user-specific settings are grouped together in the user configuration. This chapter deals exclusively with settings that are specific to routing and identifica- tion (see page...
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 4. 2 Trunk groups Fig. 29 Trunk groups in relation to the other routing elements Network interfaces with the same characteristics are grouped together in a trunk group. For example, it is specified whether the network interfaces allocated to a trunk group are connected to a private network or the public network.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 4. 2. 1 Trunk Groups of Network Interfaces General Rules and Settings A network interface can only be assigned to a single trunk group. A trunk group contains either analogue or digital network interfaces (the network interface entered first is decisive).
Page 76
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 S Interface as the Network Interface An S interface set as external is also classified as a network interface and can be as- signed to a trunk group. Note: If an S interface is reconfigured within a trunk group (to ETSI or V2), it is no longer a network interface and is removed from the trunk group.
Page 77
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 Configuration: Once a trunk group contains a B-channel group, the trunk group’s protocol can no longer be changed. For this reason it is important to proceed using the following configuration stages: Enter the network interface of the basic or primary rate access in the first trunk group (e.g.

System Functions and Features as of I7.9 5. 6. 3 Allocating the Internal Routing Table (LCR Table) The LCR table is used to categorize an outgoing call and allocate it to a routing ta- ble. A call is categorized by the evaluation of the phone number digits. The first digits of an external phone number can be evaluated in terms of the LCR function if they are entered in the LCR table (evaluatable digit sequence) and allo- cated to a routing table (2nd column).
Page 186
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 External and PISN-Internal Entries (E and I Prefix) To indicate whether an entry in the LCR table relates to an external destination in the public network or to a destination in the private leased-line network, the prefix (for external) or (for PISN-internal) must be added to the digit sequence.

System Functions and Features as of I7.9 5. 6. 4 Selecting the Network Provider (Routing Tables) The routing tables are used to select a primary or an alternative network provider for a categorized call, depending on the time of day and the weekday. A total of 20 routing tables with up to 10 time zones each can be defined.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 5. 6. 4. 1 Time zones The time zones are used to allocate network providers depending on the time of day. This means it is possible to take account of the fact that network provider 3 for example is more cost effective at night than network provider 2 If the time at which a connection is set up is outside the defined time zones the call is routed in accordance with the user configuration (without LCR function).
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 Manual alternative Routing In some situations the LCR function cannot recognize that the primary network provider is not available (for example if the network provider answers the call with a voice message). The user then has the possibility to dial via the alternative net- work provider manually.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 5. 6. 5 Conversion and Routing (Network Provider Table) The phone numbers are converted specifically for each network provider based on the network provider table; the call routing is then determined. 20 network provid- ers can be entered in the table.

System Functions and Features as of I7.9 8. 10. 2 Expanded messaging system with 9d handsets With the expanded, licensed messaging system Ascotel® IntelliGate® can be used to implement user-friendly messaging and alarm systems. The licence enables the use of the SMPP protocol and 9d handsets to be logged on as system terminals. A wide range of alarm and message applications as well a cordless DECT terminals can then be used from the Ascom Wireless Solutions product portfolio.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 8. 10. 3. 1 Message handling External and internal messages are first sent to the SMSC (Short Message Service Centre), which then forwards the messages to the corresponding destination ter- minal. The SMSC is a software package integrated in the PBX that is responsible for the flow of messages within the PBX.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 Parameter Remarks Default ESME Messages without a destination address are sent to the default ESME. Password The password is checked every time a connection is set up between SMSC and ESME (minimum length = 4). Response time Max.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 8. 10. 3. 3 Connection via V.24 with ATPC1 External alarms, faults and messages from building energy management systems, nurse paging systems, security systems, etc., can be signalled as text messages to system terminals via the V.24 interface of the Pocket Adapter. A licence is not re- quired for connecting external alarm sources or messaging systems in this way.

System Functions and Features as of I7.9 External Alarms on System Terminals Receiving external alarms An external alarm is signalled on the system terminal either by continuous ringing or by a set ringing duration (0...3600 s) consisting of a cycle that alternates 4 s of ringing with a 1 s pause.
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 8. 10. 3. 4 Connection via V.24 / Ethernet with ATAS Compared with ATPC1 the ATAS protocol provides additional possibilities for dis- play on the system terminals (Fox menu) and allows an alarm to be triggered using the Redkey (see "Function Redkey", page 502).
Page 503
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 • Once a Redkey has been configured, it can only be reconfigured via AIMS. • The application on the ATAS server can acknowledge that a function has been triggered by a Redkey by sending a message to the terminal’s display (with or without a prompt to acknowledge the message).
System Functions and Features as of I7.9 The accidental triggering of a function by the hotkey can be avoided by assigning the number memories differently and their evaluation (e. g. on the ATAS server). Note: The configuration 1 hotkey only provides six function or number keys on the hotkey in the usual way.
