Setting up Multiple Locations

●
Media gateways
●
IP network regions, used by IP stations and IP trunks

Instructions
For example, we will set up multiple locations for Communication Manager server with cabinets
in Chicago and New York. Location 1 is assigned to the cabinet in Chicago, our main office, so
Central Standard Time is used for our main location. Location 2 is assigned to the cabinet in
New York. We'll define the numbering plan area (NPA) for the Chicago and New York locations,
and set the time zone offset for NY to show the difference in time between Eastern Standard
Time and Central Standard Time.
