In Release 6.1 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX only), the non-local
integrated VMI calling group cannot be dialed directly. The local calling
group that contains the non-local extension for the integrated VMI calling
group is dialed instead. The system then sends the call to the remote
system according to the route and pattern set up for that extension. See
the Network Reference for details.
Calls to a non-local dial plan extension are treated as outside calls for the
purpose of conferencing. Each non-local conference participant who is
added takes up one of the two outside calls permitted in a conference.
For example, if a user has added two outside calls to a conference, it is
not possible to add a non-local dial plan extension.
Non-local UDP calls are treated as outside calls by the system and by
Selective Coverage features: Coverage Off, Coverage Inside, and
Coverage VMS Off.
In Release 6.0, calls cannot be covered by non-local extensions or non-
local calling groups.
In Release 6.1 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), although calls
cannot be sent directly to non-local extensions or calling groups for
coverage, they can be sent to a local calling group that has a non-local
calling group extension as its only member.
In a private network, operation for calls in PassageWay Telephony
Services applications depends upon the application implementation as
well as the type of private networked trunks (PRI or tie) that carry calls.
For an outgoing call, if the PassageWay Telephony Services application
uses the length of a destination telephone number to differentiate PSTN
calls from UDP calls, a PassageWay Telephony Services client displays a
non-local extension call in the same way as it does inside calls.
For an outgoing call, if the PassageWay Telephony Services application
uses receipt of the Network Reached event to differentiate PSTN calls
from inside calls, a PassageWay Telephony Services client displays a
non-local extension call or other UDP-routed call in the same way as it
does an outside call made to the public switched telephone network.
For an incoming call, if the PassageWay Telephony Services application
uses the length of ANI information to differentiate PSTN calls from UDP
calls, a PassageWay Telephony Services client displays a non-local dial
plan call as an inside call.
For an incoming call, if the PassageWay Telephony Services application
uses the presence of a trunk identifier in the delivered event to
differentiate PSTN calls from UDP calls, a PassageWay Telephony
Services client displays a non-local dial plan call in the same way it does
a PSTN call.
