4. Using a Comma. Detail
, = 1-second pause
Commas are used in telephone dialing
strings to indicate a pause to allow a
dial tone to appear (common on PBX
and key systems). Commas may be
used only in the “Add Prefix” field of
the Inbound Phonebook.
In many PBX systems
(not needed in all)
5. Ease of Use. The phonebook setup determines how easy the voip system is
to use. Generally, you’ll want to make it so dialing a voip call is very similar
to dialing any other number (on the PSTN or through the PBX).
6.
Avoid Unintentional Calls to Official/Emergency Numbers. Dialing a
voip call will typically be somewhat different than ordinary dialing. Because
of this, it’s possible to set up situations, quite unwittingly, where phone users
may be predisposed to call official numbers without intending to do so.
Conversely, a voip/PBX system might also make it difficult to place an
official/emergency call when one intends to do so. Study your phonebook
setup and do some dialing on the system to avoid these pitfalls.
7.
Inbound/Outbound Pattern Matching. In general, the Inbound Phonebook
entries of the local voip unit will match the Outbound Phonebook entries of the
remote voip unit. Similarly, the Outbound Phonebook entries of the local voip
unit will match the Inbound Phonebook entries of the remote voip unit. There
will often be non-matching entries, but it’s nonetheless useful to notice the
matching between the phonebooks.
8.
Simulating Network in-lab/on-benchtop. One common method of
configuring a voip network is to set up a local IP network in a lab, connect voip
units to it, and perhaps have phones connected on channel banks to make test
calls.
