11.4 Configuring Home Area Code And All Other Area Codes

Configuration Steps

1. Enter your Home Area Code and set the Dial Method. Most local calling areas will set the Dial Method

to Area Code NOT dialed (i.e. 7-digit dialing). This sets up the dialing rule for local calls.

2. Notice the all others area code entry. Its Dial Method is permanently set to 1 + Area Code dialed. This

sets up the dialing rule for most long distance calling.

3. Set up any additional area codes where you must dial the area code, but not a 1 prefix.

4. Choose the desired Service Group for each of the area code entries.

5. If there are any additional area codes with unique Service Group requirements, enter it in an empty Area

Code row, select its Dial Method, and choose the Service Group.

If the Home Area Code has been set, seven digit phone numbers (nnn-nnnn) will be routed using the Service

Group selected for the Home Area Code. Seven digit numbers will be routed using the All CO Lines, SIP

Gateways & SIP Proxies Service Group if the Home Area Code has not been set.

11.5 Interaction Between Service Groups and Handset Outside Line Restrictions

As stated above, Service Groups are used to direct the placement of outbound calls to particular services and

the service chosen for a particular call is the first idle service in the group. However, a handset can be

configured to further restrict its use of any CO Line, Digital Line Bearer Channel, SIP Gateway, or SIP Proxy

when placing an outside call. The rule for resolving this is as follows:

1. According to the number dialed, the configured Service Group is found for a particular outbound call.

2. When the first idle service in the group is found, the list of handset restrictions is checked.
