Features
Remote Access
Primary Rate
Interface and T1
Service Observing
SMDR
System
Renumbering
Tandem Switching
Uniform Dial Plan
A PRI line that has been programmed for routing by dial plan should not
be programmed for remote access.
In Release 6.1 and later systems, Service Observers can observe a
Remote Access call if it is answered at an extension on the local system.
Remote Access cannot be used to activate Service Observing.
Remote access calls are recorded only if SMDR is programmed to track
incoming calls. If a barrier code is entered, the barrier code number
(01–16) appears in the ACCOUNT field of the report, preceded by
. If the caller uses remote access to dial an extension and the call
is answered, the extension number is shown in the STN (station) field. If
the call is not answered at the extension, the STN field is blank.
If the caller uses remote access to dial out on a line or trunk, the STN field
on the first SMDR record is blank and a second record is generated for
the outgoing call.
If no barrier code is required, the ACCOUNT field contains
In Release 3.0 and later systems, if a caller provides an invalid or
incomplete barrier code for three attempts, either
recorded in the ACCOUNT field. If the connection is broken before the
third attempt, the ACCOUNT field contains
after the third attempt but before receiving reorder tone, the ACCOUNT
field may contain either
third attempt and after receiving reorder tone, the ACCOUNT field
contains 16 zeros.
If the system includes DID or dial-in tie trunks, the number assigned to the
line/trunk can be programmed for remote access. This allows remote
access users to call in on the DID or dial-in trunk.
The remote access code can be renumbered. The factory-set remote
access code is 889.
Remote access allows non-local network users to access trunks
connected to the public switched telephone network, permitting cost
savings. Barrier codes are not used for this application of tandem trunks.
Instead, default tie and/or non-tie COR permissions and restrictions are
used, depending on whether private network trunks are tie trunks or PRI
facilities.
A caller can reach remote access on a networked system by calling in on
DID, PRI dial-plan routed, or dial-in tie trunks or by dialing a remote
access code programmed into the non-local dial plan. The remote system
applies any required restrictions. The barrier code requirement for the
default COR should be turned on.
A remote access caller can call a number in the non-local dial plan.
