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 test-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.
