Page 112: Incoming Calls
Positron Telecommunication Systems Inc. – G-Series Incoming Calls Controls the routing of incoming calls. Typically, this will route all incoming calls to the main IVR system. Rules can cause calls received on a dedicated analog fax line, to be routed directly to the fax machine. Calls received on a specific analog or SIP line can be routed to a particular extension.
Page 113 Positron Telecommunication Systems Inc. – G-Series Figure 77 Incoming Calls Edit Screen Example: Incoming calls on the VoIP service named Babytel using the DID number of 212-555-1212 will be routed directly to extension 6002.
Page 114: Dial Plans
Positron Telecommunication Systems Inc. – G-Series Dial Plans The Dial Plan defines dialing permissions and least-cost routing rules. Dial plans are used in conjunction with calling rules to determine how outgoing calls are to be routed. For example an organization may choose to route local call through the analog telephone network, and long-distance calls through the VoIP system.
Page 115 Positron Telecommunication Systems Inc. – G-Series Figure 79 Calling Rules Example Menu Screens Dial Plans Dial-plans are calling rules which govern whether a call is internal or external. Any dial attempt that doesn't match a Calling Rule will be considered an internal call, so the system will try to route the call to an internal resource such as another extension or a feature.
Page 116 Positron Telecommunication Systems Inc. – G-Series _ (underscore) begins any dial plan that is NOT made up exclusively of digits. characters which can include: X – representing any digit 0-9 Z – representing any digit 1-9 (“0” is not allowed) N –...
Page 117 Positron Telecommunication Systems Inc. – G-Series Examples: NOTE: The examples are presented in order of increasing complexity. However, the system will execute the dial plans in sequence, and allow the first rule matched to be executed. _9NXXXXXXXXX:1 (North American ten-digit calls) In this example, the :1 will cause the leading 9 to be stripped off, and the remaining 10 digits to be passed to the outside line.

Page 119 Positron Telecommunication Systems Inc. – G-Series Wait Time (Pause) • In certain applications, for example in calling automated voice response systems or making long distance calls using passwords, it may be necessary to send a dial string, then wait for a specified time, then resume sending digits.
Page 120: Trunks / Lines
Positron Telecommunication Systems Inc. – G-Series Trunks / Lines Trunks and lines are used to allow the system to make calls to the PSTN. The outbound lines can be VoIP lines or traditional telephony lines. When connecting to service providers, the connection made is typically referred to as a “trunk.” A trunk can use regular analog lines or SIP to connect to a VoIP provider.
