Trunk Access
Usually, 9 is used as the analog or PSTN trunk access code, and AltiWare
uses 9 as the default for trunk access. You can keep that configuration and
assign other digits such as 7 or 8 to Route Access and IP trunk access, or
you can change it. There are no defaults for IP trunk or Route Access.
IP Trunk Access
Only one IP trunk access option is allowed per AltiWare system.It is highly
recommended that the same IP trunk access code (e.g. 8)beusedforall
AltiWare systems in the network. To use Voiceover IP, you must set up this
access and, in addition, configure the IP Dialing Table as discussed in
“Defining an IP Dialing Table” on page 129 and set the VoIP codecs as
discussed in “Setting VoIP Codecs” on page 197.
Note: After setting the IP Trunk Access code here, you should set the
Trunk Access Codes of any 30-port VoIP boards to “None” on the
General tab of the Trunk Configuration window (see “Setting
General Trunk Attributes” on page 173). This will prevent users
from directly accessing the 30-port boards—which use the G.711
codec only—for calls to AltiServ servers or other IP gateways that
may require the G.723 codec.
If you still want users to have access to
this trunk for outgoing calls, you can set it up through OutcallRouting (see
Chapter 9, Out Call Routing Configuration).
Route Access
The Route Access option can be assigned to one or more digits, to route the
call per the out call routing table. Out call routing, which is sometimes
called ARS (Automatic Route Selection) or LCR (Least Cost Routing
without carrier rate table), is described in Chapter 9, Out Call Routing
Configuration.
Out call routing is designed to help 10-digit dialing, zoomerang dialing,
digit manipulation, and tie trunk hop-off dialing.
Note:
When making or editing these or other number plan assignments,
refer to the considerations on setting and editing discussed in
“Setting a System Number Plan” on page 104 .
