Description
Use the built in networking feature to integrate multiple phone systems into a single "virtual" com-
munications system. Interconnected with ISDN PRI or BRI or VoIP, each phone system becomes a
node on the network that can communicate with any other phone system node.

Product Description
Centralized Network Attendant
Centralized Network Attendant allows multiple networked systems to share a single central-
ized attendant. This centralized attendant can receive calls from and transfer calls to any desti-
nation in any network node. Unanswered calls recall and route as if they were part of a single,
much larger system. Prior to software 4.94, only external voice mail could be used. However,
with software 4.94 or higher, you can use the Aspire Mail or IntraMail as the centralized voice
mail.
Flexible Network Routing
Use network routes to set up ISDN and VoIP networking between many separate systems - or
use mixed (ISDN or VoIP) networking per system for greater network performance. Data
tables in the system program deÞne the routing for each network node. These tables are easily
customized to meet the requirements of each networking conÞguration.
Users may place an intercom call or transfer a call to any extension at any location by simply
dialing an extension number. The system analyzes each extension number received and deter-
mines how to route the call to its Þnal destination. The feature which handles this route selec-
tion is called Flexible Routing (F-Routing). F-Routing also has the ability to select alternate
routes to the destination extension if the primary destination is busy. Up to 48 routes are avail-
able for networking. Once an extension number is dialed, the system checks the routing,
accesses the assigned trunk group and places the call. Each extension is assigned a route or
routes that decides which trunk group to access and any modiÞed dialed data if required.
When an Aspire system is connected via a VoIP connection to an i-Series system in a tie-line
type setup, in order to transfer calls from the Aspire system to the i-Series, in addition to the
VoIP programs speciÞed in the VoIP feature (page 201), set up the Flexible Routing Tables as
follows:
●
Program 44-05-01 : ARS/F-Route Table ; Table Number 1 = 9 (Trunk Group for Aspire
VoIP Trunk)
● Program 10-23-02 : H.323 System Interconnection, IP Address ; System Number 3 =
172.16.9.10 (IP Address for i-Series System)
