About the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant and Fractional E1 Lines

The FaxPress Enterprise Redundant Fractional E1 unit will use the first 8 E1 ISDN PRI channels. Confirm
with your line carrier that the first 8 E1 ISDN PRI channels are activated rather than the last 8 channels or
the middle 8 channels.

Required E1 Line Carrier Information

The line carrier must provide the information required for configuring the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant.
The phone company/line carrier will need to tell you:
• The switch type (a common example is Euro-ISDN ETSI-DSSI.)
• The DNIS string configuration, including number of DNIS digits, total length of the string including
ANI digits (if any), and other characters. Configuring the FaxPress mailbox IDs requires knowing the
number of digits being passed. FaxPress Enterprise Redundant also has a dtmf.log file diagnostic tool
that can determine precise digit string information.
• The DNIS Digit/line extension range (e.g., 272-0001 to 272-1000).
About the Dialogic Fax Board's Range of Extensions Settings
The Dialogic fax board's Range of Extensions settings indicate the number of DNIS digits used to identify
line extensions. The default range of extensions is set to 0000 for Lowest Extension and 9999 for Highest
Extension. If your organization uses 3 DNIS digits to identify line extension, you'll change the settings to 000
for Lowest Extension and 999 for Highest Extension. If your organization uses 5 DNIS digits to identify line
extensions, you'll change the settings to 00000 for Lowest Extension and 99999 for Highest Extension.
Configuring the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant for E1 ISDN PRI
